Edward/Paz calls for reform on the writer's mindset, not so much on the curriculum of writing itself like Yancey and Pattanayak. The struggles writers face described in Edward/Paz is more focused on an internal battle within the writers themselves. That struggle to fight the thought that the writer will never produce work that can compete with the works of writers that preceded them. Meanwhile Yancey and Pattanayak focused on the struggle of writers in certain races/cultures. How minorities are devalued and how they must learn things in a way that benefits their white counterparts, not necessarily them.

Kathleen Blake Yancey, Mike Bunn, and Ellen C. Carillo seem to be having a conversation about writing strategies we learn and ways that writing can be taught even better. I believe this because I identified reading as it is connected to writing, understanding and comprehending what you are reading and writing, and ways that the ways writing is taught have evolved, as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because reading and writing are more important than ever given how quickly information spreads thanks to technology. Now that information spreads so quickly, we need to make sure that students are able to understand all of this information that they are constantly being exposed to. I find this topic interesting because reading and writing are seemingly basic skills that we use every day, yet there are still so many ways that the way writing is taught can be improved. I find this especially interesting because everyone is taught very similar ways to write, but because everyone is different, some people will not do well with these methods of teaching. I think that if people were taught many different writing strategies instead of just a few, it would encourage more people to write because there wouldn’t be nearly as much of a fear of being a bad writer.

The authors Yancey, Pattanayak, and Edward & Paz believe that as we head into the 21rst century, the world of technology and social life has changed significantly in which the communication and sharing of ideas across the globe has become much faster. Because writing is considered to be a “social conversation,” this area of collaborative space where writers can draw ideas from each other has remarkably enlarged itself due to technological progress. Simultaneously, racial and ethnic diversity among the U.S. population has notably increased where there has been a highlighted difference between cultures and languages. It is clear that there has been significant trends in progress and change in social life and technology, and it is important for us, especially students, to be aware and acknowledge these changes in the modern world. Although there has been a noticeable transformation, the education system and literary curriculum have not adjusted to these recent changes. This is detrimental because emerging students who enter college are not equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful in the modern age of writing, which involves a heavy reliance on collaboration and awareness of culture differences.

These three scholars, Yancey, Strong, and Alvarez, seem to be having a conversation about opportunities with modern writing. I think this because I identified how Yancey examines the correlation between improvements in writing and technology, how Alvarez explains that modern writing is inclusive to minorities, and how Strong emphasizes that students have an opportunity to explore their understanding with writing. These are all repeating patterns in these texts. I think they are all talking about how modern writing has provided more opportunities because the writing process has developed and changed throughout the years, and in the modern day anyone can be a writer. Technology has connected us as a society, which has given minorities voices. This is important as it allows more communication, which is important in a world that needs improvement. At the same time, professors in college are teaching students how to explore their understanding and see how deep their knowledge about a certain topic is. This forces students to acknowledge what they don’t know. I find this topic interesting because each author looked at it a different way and provided different insight.

Carillo, Flaherty, and Yancey seem to have a conversation about the need to change how writing is being taught. I think this because there seems to be recurring patterns about the authors wanting teachers to change something about their lessons like for example, Carillo talks about the importance of reading and writing being taught together rather than just making students learn writing in universities to help improve students' writing from her “Reading and writing are not connected.” In Flaherty’s “Study examines professors’ writing assignments,” she uses Melzer’s study to talk about how teachers in the late 1900’s to show how teachers makes students focuses on things like grammar, and then talks about the use of WAC programs in Universities as a potential way to help students’ growth in writing. Yancey talks about the changes in writing and how it’s taught compared from the 1900’s to now and flat out says that teachers should change their curriculum and use new ways of teaching students on writing. I think they are talking about this because this seems to be an issue that hasn’t changed that drastically and is probably still an ongoing issue. This topic interests me because looking back at my own experience of writing from when I was little, I felt that learning writing was particularly hard to learn and it wasn’t very enjoyable to write long paragraphs, and how I used to focus on things like grammar. I think that a potential change in how we learn to write might be very useful to all students so that it can make them confident when writing.

These three scholars, Yancey, Edwards & Paz, and Wardle seem to be having a conversation about the misconceptions of writing and writers and how it affects students' disposition toward learning how to write.

I think this because I identified multiple false constructs as presented by the authors of the texts, the impact of these constructs on writers and students, and encouragement of alternative approaches to teaching students how to read and write repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.

I think they are talking about this because it directly impacts the present and future generations of students and how they view writing. Writing is an important tool for life, and if students have a negative disposition toward writing, it can impact them in other ways.

I find this topic interesting because many students in UWP 007 have expressed their disdain for writing, and I would like to see how this pattern amongst students can be addressed and prevented through an implementation of a more comprehensive writing curriculum.

These three scholars Yancey, Giovanelli, Edward, and Paz seem to be having a conversation about _Writing and the true process of it. I think this because I identified the writing process and how long it is, the expectations of it , and how it changes over time repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because these are main points in writing and the most important things to know. I find this topic interesting because this influences me to this day and shows how writing could possibly keep changing. I think that this strand is helpful because it shows that writing will NEVER be easy and that writing will always have a purpose. Writing takes time whether it is in the brainstorming, revision, or the writing portion itself. Writing is a process that takes time because the best of the best authors take months even years to produce their works and that is why they are so good. Also, young and up and coming writers should learn from the best because writing is thinking and takes time no matter what level because writing is a learning process. This strand reveals that no matter how long one has been writing for, it is still the same process as when they first started because it still consists of brainstorming, writing, and revision. This adds to the college writing conversation because it shows how even though college students have been writing for 10 years, the same basic process stays the same, but the expectations change.

Yancey, Bunn, and Pattanayak seem to be having a conversation about the evolution of English literacies and the need for more change in how reading and writing are viewed. I think this because I identified the connection between reading and writing, advocating for a change in how academic literacies are taught, and the evolution of writing due to technology, perceptions, and diversity repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because writing and reading are constantly evolving with new technology and new discoveries, so it is important for students to adapt with these changes. I find this topic interesting because scholars continue to discover new strategies in how writing can be taught in a way that is more beneficial for students. Diversity in writing is a topic that interests me because it’s important that educators realize the need for change in how we perceive English literacies.

Yancey, Carillo, and Wardle seem to be having a conversation about writing skills and methods to teach writing. The topic of adaptability seems to be a repeating pattern in all three texts. Yancey’s main argument is for a change in curriculum since technology has grown tremendously in the 21st century. Carillo argues more specifically about a distinct teaching style- one that teaches reading and writing alongside each other. Wardle, however, speaks about the value in viewing writing as particular and calls for writers to adapt their skill set for each writing experience. Yancey and Carillo call for a change in teaching and adapting to new technological advances, while Wardle calls for personal adaptation in the writing process. I think they are talking about this subject because students are constantly learning and growing their skills, so we must recognize that the curriculum needs to mirror their ever-changing needs. We cannot keep the same teaching methods from the beginning of printed literacy when technological advances change the entire system. I find this topic interesting because it deconstructs the notion of writing. Personally, writing always seemed very structured and was usually only for assignments with my teacher as the reader, but the concept of flexibility and adaptability in regards to writing changes my perspective.

These three scholars Yancey, Wardle, Edward and Paz seem to be having a conversation about At different times, different experiences, the form and content of writing are different.They created a new concept of writing, Encourage students to write.

I think this because I identified Encourage students to write,  Writing requires a lot of experience and time, and Explain the correct cognition of writing repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.

I think they are talking about this because The author hopes that we know that the development of literature and a good article require hard work and experience. Don’t be afraid to write, actively express your ideas so that you can make progress.

I find this topic interesting because The changes in writing in the 20th and 21st centuries. People need to use troublesome ink to use pencils and then to computers. The development of science and technology has made our writing more convenient. It is also because of the changes of the times that the writing style has also changed. For example, in the past, people's more common writing style was poetry, and now people's writing is usually novel.

The three scholars Yancey, Bunn, and Wardle seem to be having a conversation about composing writing that is rich in innovative strategies. I identified this because of the recurring pattern in the text of different tactics for writing. Yancey writes that composers in the 21st century know exactly how to target their audience and captivate their attention, knowing how to compose and who your audience is an innovative skill. Wardle’s writing can support this statement, as she believes that writing changes through time and the writing techniques one learns do not apply forever, to all types and styles of writing. Therefore, you must learn how to adapt to new forms of writing and pick up on contemporary writing skills to apply later on in your writing in order to have flexibility and strength in your composition. Bunn is also an advocate for paying attention to readings and strategies because when learning to read like a writer you can pick up on skills used by great writers and apply those to your own texts with a stronger impact. I think these scholars are talking about this topic specifically to emphasize the importance of picking up and adapting to new writing skills in order to improve. I think this topic is interesting because it is very supplemental, especially as a college student who is trying to improve their writing. In college, it is very obvious that I will not always be assigned the same types of writing, and picking up strategies from different texts and learning how to write using different techniques is supplemental to my writing carrier.

These three scholars Yancey, Giovanelli and Edward & Paz seem to be having a conversation about how to ​​become a writer. Their views will undoubtedly make us better writers.

I think this because I identified scholars' choice of subject matter for their articles and changes for different audiences, both in terms of writing modes and writing tools have changed over history, and anyone can become a good writer through a rather long process of practice, collaboration and revision occurring as a pattern in these texts.

I think they are talking about this because many college students come to college confused by the sudden new type of writing that comes their way. When we are assigned a writing task we don't know what to write about and always feel lost and confused. These authors want to give us an understanding of what writing is followed by teaching us step by step how to improve our writing and become more fit for university writing. Among other things, they point out that revision and practice are an important part of writing. We need to learn these methods and they will improve our writing.

I find this topic interesting because it is about the future of writing. Whether it's my writing or someone else's. I am in the mood to look forward to it all. I have also learnt that their advocacy will undoubtedly have a huge impact on my writing. It will lead me to write in a more holistic way. Both in terms of writing ideas and writing content will improve as a result of learning these methods. I will see writing as a test of my practice and labour.

The call for reform within all 3 readings of Yancey, Pattanayak, and Alvarez expresses both how much expectations of language and communications still has to come over society in being inclusive of the diversity of the many different ways of speaking, as well as the evolutionary outbreaks that have been assisting reading and writing become an ever-growing subject and form of art that is essential for an improving society. This information of the evolution of language, communication, and writing exposes the intricacies of the subjects and how impactful society’s perceptions of their rules truly are. This also gives readers a wider perspective on these different subjects and allows them to formulate their own opinions, which can also assist the idea of new forms of models of teaching as more and more people become interested in these topics. Overall, all three readings give readers a bigger view of how language and communication can immensely impact their surroundings, society, and community.

For the new model of writing that both pattanayak and yancey want to create, there are still some differences in the definition of their “new pattern”. Based on Yancey’s writing, the way of new writing was changed by the development of modern technology and people’s personal values at different times.

First of all, Yancey mentioned the development of digital technology. writers are everywhere for example on bulletin boards and in chat rooms and in emails and in text messages and on blogs responding to news reports.  But the author also shows that people from different backgrounds read and write in different ways. People need to create a way of writing that can deal with people from all backgrounds. Writing on the Web, however, copes well with this. For example, journalists or columnists, in order to make their work more popular, they need to write enough articles to deal with different people.

Secondly,  yancey also mentioned that we have multiple models of composing operating simultaneously, each informed by new publication practices, new materials, and new vocabulary. We have many questions about these new composings that we need to pursue, to document, and to share. That also follows Pattanayak’s suggestions which are the development of modern society and different cultures. New words and sentence patterns have been created to cater to this.

Lastly, yancey mentioned 3 rules that we have to follow in our upcoming writing challenge which is developing new models of composing,  designing a new curriculum supporting those models, and  creating new pedagogies enacting that curriculum. These also need to be implemented by the essay of Pattanayak. Because writing is one of human culture and it should go with human’s change.

In the readings of ​authors Kathleen Blake Yancey, Colleen Flaherty​ and Mike Bunn, they all have have different writings, but they all have a similar goal and interest in their writing. They all argue about writing strategies and the way we learn these strategies and the way these writing strategies can be taught in a better way for both readers and writers. They get into depth about how reading is writing and how it is all connected and sometimes (mostly young people) think they are completely different when they are not. They also point out a pattern that stands out, that the way you understand and grasp what you are collecting from both readings and writings shows a lot about a student and what has progressed throughout time from what they are taught. I strongly feel like they talk about this in their writing specifically because it is very important to understand the way reading and writing are both advancing through the years and how some teaching ways need to advance. I say this because in all the readings, all authors come together at some point explaining or talking about how students are typically taught a specific way to write or a special set of rules for them, and when they come to a higher level of education, they are confused and lost. Students come to college lost because teachers in high school would like and prefer them to be grammatically correct, rather than actually being in the right space of the content of reading and writing. Writing instructors are so focused on teaching writing that they forget to teach the students how they want them to write and what they want from them. The readings also point out an importance of how writers should learn how to "read like a writer." With reading and writing only advancing from here on out, all kinds of people such as instructors, students, readers, writers, etc. should recognize and take advantage of all the resources we have to enhance our ways to "read like a writer."
