Scholars John Warner, Kathleen Blake Yancey, Dustin Edward & Enrique Paz have been taking into consideration the difficulties in the process of writing, and seem to be having conversations about the way it’s perceived which involve changing their mentality from high school to college writing and their approach of the procedure as a whole. I think this is because I identified the limitations that Warner explains are set in secondary schools, Yancey then argues students having difficulties with the complex proceedings of literacy, and the impracticable expectations placed in the college setting that Edward and Paz exemplify. I think they are talking about this because many first-year college students are too harsh on themselves when they begin to see the difference in literacy compared to their past experience. This change is hard on many because many scholars that do end up going to college are overachievers that never necessarily have difficulty in school. I find this subject interesting because I believe that I am feeling that sudden overwhelming tension right now. As I am  transitioning to college level writing I find these sources helpful as I am a part of the intended audience that the authors wish to reach.

Scholars and writers have been adapting our current technological advances when it comes to writing, and it has been evidently shown in our day to day life at it seems to be having a conversation about new implementations and systems we need to develop in order to continue to adapt to the writing world around us. I think this because I identified the challenges of having trouble to come up with new ideas and now have a chance to explore them in a academic blog post, Write Before Writing by Donald M. Murray, to having to find new writing criteria to fit our expanding technological advances in a publication; Writing in the 21st Century by Kathleen Blake Yancey, and to understand the many new concepts and ever expanding way of technology being more and more evident in a YouTube; How China Conquered The Keyboard video by Johnny Harris. They all have a repeating pattern in these texts with the struggles and expanding ways we as writers should adapt. I think they are talking about this because of how much writing has gone in the past century, from being only hand written to having computers being able to have access to many different languages and sources. I find this interesting because I have never stopped to realize because due to our ever expanding writing and communications that it has become harder to try and stay on top of the pace we are expected to keep up with.

Scholars Miller & Shultz( M. & S.), Mike Bunn, Edwards & Paz( E. & P.) seem to be having a conversation about the best method of bridging the gap and educating new academic writers. I think this because I identified the proposal of failures and pitfalls within new writers, multiple suggestions on the best method of improving writers, and an emphasis on the way education perpetuates issues in the literary community occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because of each of their suggestions being targeted to members in the academic community both new and seasoned. While also each mentioning aspects and benefits they foresee following their method, or change being implemented to improve the writer at large. I find this interesting because each of them offer a new idea which can be put to debate, as Edwards & Paz challenge stereotype which based on the lack of mention could mean Bunn and M. & S. disagree that this is the central issue. Both of them argue a lack in literacies is the main issue however while M. & S. believe in a direct approach and a variety of literacies being taught to be required, Bunn seems to assume only critical thinking to be the best tool and that the others will flow naturally as a by product. In the end they all have flaws and pitfalls in their plan to improve writing in academics and so picking apart these ideas interest me.

Scholars and authors Brockman, Yancey, and Parrott have been studying the ongoing development in the writing process, and the effect it has had on our societies students all over the world.  They seem to be having a conversation about the changes and differences that happen in college and high school writing. Things such as the way the student takes the process of writing, and the way they write as a whole. I have identified the restrictions in”what do professors really say about college writing“.  Many first year students coming from high school have been taught a specific format by their previous teachers and they then bring it to their college classes. And like it is stated in “Some people were just born good writers” this is what they are being taught. It is drilled into students' heads that they can only use a certain format while writing. But in “Writing in the 21st century” Yancey says that it is more normalized that more students are being taught reading which is seen as more important than writing , so they are teaching students one set way to write so their writing is definitely going to show that they learned something from their readings. I think they are talking about this because it shows that first year college students are still needing to learn the ropes of writing because they are going from a fixed writing style to having more freedom with their writing, and they might not know how to complete a writing assignment “the correct way”. This could be an issue among a lot of students because they aren’t really sure how to write the correct way in college format and it might cause them to have bad grades which will then lead them to many other possible issues. I find this interesting because I am currently in this same situation where I have been taught a specific way to write; but it seems to be completely different from what is asked of me in my current classes so I am learning to navigate that without falling behind.

Scholars, Murray, Edwards and Paz, and Miller & Schulz, seem to be talking about the concept of writing and what it is. I know this because I saw writing styles, how to write, and the idea of writing repeating in “ Donald M. Murray’s “Write before Writing,” “Miller & Schulz’s “University Literacy…” and Dustin Edwards and Enrique Paz “Only Genius Can Be Writers.” I think they are talking about this because there’s the whole conversation of being a “good writer.” It’s an issue many students face when they want to or have to write. The texts listed go in on these issues because they think it's the reason why today so many students struggle with writing. They want to send a message to educators on what they need to do to help students become more confident writers. Now I find this all interesting because I am a student myself and also struggle with writing because of the very issues listed and explained in the texts. Personally I’ve always thought that to be a good writer you have to be original, work fast, be very highly educated. The reality of it is that not many of us can do that. The texts explain very well why that's the fact and why it shouldn’t be held against the students.

Scholars Edward & Paz, Brockman, Taylor, Kreth, & Crawford, and Murray seem to be having a conversation about whether certain circumstances will have a positive or negative impact on the writing process. I think this because I identified that in Edward & Paz’s “Only Geniuses can be Writers” the negative idea of genius writers allows the reader to understand that you can overcome your struggle with writing regardless of this idolization of perfect writers. Not to mention that Brockman, Taylor, Kreth, and Crawford’s “What Do Professors Say about College Writing”  provides a look into what professors can point out that students struggle with and promotes them to find ways to deal with the intricacy of their writing process. Additionally in Murray’s “Write Before Writing” he discusses the importance of procrastination in the writing process. The occurring pattern of different methods may positively or negatively affect the writing process. I think they are talking about this because it is important to find different methods that will help first-year undergraduate students in being successful whether that is in the way professors cater to their needs or identifying that you can have a positive outlook on negative ideals that may transform you into a better writer.

Scholars Edward & Paz, Jill Parrot, and Donald Murray seem to be having a conversation about breaking free from the stereotypes of writing while exploring unique methods that benefiting the furthering of their literacy levels. I think this because I identified the addressing of giving recognition that everyone is a genius and that it is damaging to believe that only certain people are made to write and those who aren't must follow in their shadow, ridding of the fear of being unoriginal and having to prove yourself worthy of being a great writer than recognizing it as an art that only maintains its meaning with the heart and thought that was put into it, and finally understanding writing as a process that is not to be rushed by any means, that it is in fact a journey and steps are to be made when exploring your own literature. these are repeating as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because writing is a way of life, it is an art meant to be shared and collaborated upon with people to build a community. I find this interesting because not many people have came to understand that, it is always about being the best and being noticed or simply just doing it because it is expected to be done for a class or job without coming to see its value and importance in society on a global scale, but as small as ones own individual life.

Scholars Miller & Shulz’s “University Literacy…” and Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer”, discuss similar ideas such as understanding the audience within writing. I identified that they discussed that understanding the audience within writing allows the writer to understand what’s appropriate and what isn’t depending on the setting. It helps the writer to properly write according to what is being asked and who they’re writing to. This is a repeating occurrence between these 2 sources because they discuss how writers may do certain things within their writing to come off as impressive. I think they both touch on these ideas because it’s something that is seen all throughout writing. I find this interesting because most of the sources we’ve read all have a similar theme within them, they just discuss things differently. Although it’s common in all writing to understand the audience, they discuss this as a key within writing. It’s more of what the important decisions are to make depending on how one will structure their writing, which depends on the assignment and the audience.

Scholars Warner, Yancey, and Parrott seem to be having conversations about the school system and how rules are shown and then have to make drastic changes in a short period of time. I think this because looking at their key points I can identify similarities in the topics showing how the evolution of writing has only continued to grow and change showing how technology also plays a factor in the improvement of literacy. I think they are talking about this because in the texts they discuss how the writing process developed over time , how writers think about writing before it happens, how different the first year transition can be, and how writing has evolved and gotten better over time. I find this interesting because it shows how we can all see the same text and have different ideas about the main points of the text which can be good because it gives us time to shine light on different ideas we have and why we have them such as finding different evidence. I also found it interesting how we are all making the huge transition together , because we can use each other for constructive criticism, bouncing off different ideas and gaining new techniques and perspectives to better our

Scholars are discussing the impact of AI on students' learning experiences. I know this because I've come across recurring ideas like AI replacing traditional teaching methods and concerns about AI's inability to understand individual learning needs in sources such as (mention specific sources). I think they are addressing these concerns because while AI has potential benefits, many students are expressing worries that its implementation might lead to a lack of meaningful teacher-student interaction and a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn't cater to diverse learning styles and needs.I believe scholars are addressing these topics because they recognize the significant implications AI could have on the education landscape. While AI holds promise in enhancing efficiency and providing personalized learning experiences, students themselves are expressing shared concerns. Many fear that an overreliance on AI might diminish meaningful teacher-student interactions, which are crucial for fostering engagement, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of complex subjects. Additionally, the potential for a standardized and uniform educational approach driven by AI algorithms raises worries about neglecting diverse learning styles and needs, potentially deserving students from varied backgrounds and abilities.In simple words, experts are talking a lot about how AI might affect how students learn. They're saying that we need to find a good balance between using AI to help students and making sure it doesn't cause any problems. When we look at what these experts are saying in their research, it's clear that they're trying to figure out how to use AI in education in a smart way. They want to make sure that students with different learning styles and needs are still getting the best education possible.

Scholars Edward, Paz, Yancey, Bunn, and Parrott seem to be having a conversation about the evolution of writing and the restrictions that are taught and currently doing a disservice to students. This is because the topic or reading and writing is necessary not only inside the classroom but outside of it. Students need to be well rounded in order to succeed in life and in their careers. There is a repeating pattern of the authors stressing the importance of rewriting or deprogramming the reading and writing curriculum. Although the rules taught are necessary to a certain extent they have become so robotic which is stunting the enjoyment and imagination around reading and writing. I think they are talking about this because they realize the importance of reading and writing and they can clearly see the lack of development in students in this generation. Although each author approached the topic differently at the end of the day they all seem to have the same goal. To make sure not only are reading and writing being taught together as well as being equal in the literacy world. But, reading and writing are being taught in different ways and being seen as fun and expressive as well as articulate and educational.
