Many students do not put effort into their writing and it's often done with a lack of concern for what's actually being produced. The need for students to produce something that is informative requires students to take ownership in what they're writing. Creating something of this nature can be done by writing and and then rewriting after having read the content a second time. This creates a deeper understanding and helps to emphasize the lack of understanding that may have occurred from the first read through. This kind of a rereading and re-comprehending can start to form new habits.
