-The writing outline being taught to high school students do not prepare them for college level writing

-Writing has no limitations, therefore it shouldn’t be taught to that it does

-Students should be equipped with the proper skills that they’ll need to be successful in college in highschool; college should let their writing curriculum be known

Anson

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 17:50:01 UTC

-The codependency on AI as a learner of writing takes away from actually receiving the skills and strategies taught during the writing process

-To learn the skills and strategies of writing to be successful you must actually write

-AI isn’t a 100% bad thing to use

Bunn

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 17:50:26 UTC

-Specific techniques can help a student be successful in writing

-Knowing certain strategies can be helpful when reading others work, as the importance and significance can be apparent

-Writing as if you were a reader can make you see your own work from a different pov; could potentially help with the drafting process

Irvin

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 17:56:46 UTC

-Writing should be seen as a learning process that shouldn’t be rushed
-Every time one writes, a new skill is acquired

-It is important that students understand that writing is a process that you continuously learn, it is not something that is you’ll magically learn to do overnigh

Carillo

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 17:58:29 UTC

-Reading and writing are both more influential to a student when both are taught together to a student. It is more beneficial that way because skills are being built using both at the same time.
-Because university and college students aren’t being taught to use both english and writing together, there is a disconnect between what professors want from students and how students should go about writing pieces that satisfy the professor; there is no reading comprehension when reading text that are assigned to students that need to be used as evidence, hence why papers/works may be bad because the student doesn’t understand how to develop thoughts on readings that are not understood
-The lack of teaching reading and writing simultaneously doesn’t just affect individuals in an academic setting but outside of that as well. Reading, writing, analyzing, and interpreting are all necessary skills that are strongly needed in the real world that will be used almost everyday

Edward and Paz

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 17:59:44 UTC

-Geniuses aren’t the only people that can write good pieces of writing

-The creation of new ideas can also form from someone else’s idea; shares that collaboration and inspiration from others is not a bad thing

-”Geniuses” to struggled as they wrote their pieces. Writing is a hard thing to do. Something that is known

Parott

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 18:00:55 UTC

-The idea that people are just born good writers is a harm ideology

-Views towards writing in the 19th century are much different than view today. It is also the process and the end result that is valued

-Comparison to writers who have been idolized is detrimental to the learning process of writing as it is a developmental skill that continues to be build no matter the level and age

Miller and Schulz

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 18:02:37 UTC

-Using multiple literacies in education allows for increased success for a student.

-It is important to recognize that the multi-literacy approach is beneficial not just for academics but outside the world as well

- It equips the student with all necessary tools to be successful whether it is from an academic standpoint or cultural standpoint (more personal)

Murray

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 18:04:16 UTC

-Writers need time to develop ideas; writing is a process that shouldn’t make one feel trapped because they don’t know where to start

-prewriting activities are essential parts when it comes to the writing process. It’s the main part that builds the foundation for a piece of work

-prewriting also helps the writer gain a better understanding of what it is that they’re writing. Once students have an understanding of what they’re writing the produce better quality of work

Lamott

alysmith4 — 2023-10-21 18:04:58 UTC

-Writing is an imperfect process that students should recognize

-The solution to being stuck or not really knowing where to start is writing a bad first draft to build off of

-Any excelled writer is going to have their setbacks. It is okay to have to write multiple drafts to get right where you want to be as a writer

Harris

-The Chinese language is a complex but not so complex language

-Words are represented by characters/ symbols and no symbol is the same

-Overtime writing out the sounds of the words were able to become automated in the computer using special keyboards. The words are then translated into the characters on its own due to technological advancements

Warner, U Toronto, Strong

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:30:13 UTC

The level of writing we were taught in high school is vastly different from what is expected in university. High school writing was too constricted and formulaic as opposed to academic writing, which allows for a lot of freedom and nuance. Many students struggle with this transition early on.

Critical thinking is one of the most important skills to have. High school writing does not allow for much room to think critically.

If students wish to succeed in college, they must unlearn the rules that were taught to them in high school and relearn how to write academically.

Johnson

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:32:21 UTC

Academic discussion is necessary for the growth of ideas and viewpoints.

The concept of "parlors," which are melting pots of different viewpoints and ideas.

The historical importance of communication and collaboration.

Anson

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:32:51 UTC

Relying too much on AI can be harmful for students because it hinders their ability to think critically.

Generative AI use raises ethical, moral, and legal dilemmas. Students can get away with plagiarising directly what an AI wrote, as the work is technically original. Also, AIs mimic styles of writing and art of real people, so that could be considered copyright infringement.

As AI continues to evolve, we need to understand that this is only the beginning. AI is not going anywhere, it is here to stay. Students and educators need to adapt and learn how to implement it into the curriculum of classes and scholarly landscape. If AI is used correctly, it can be a powerful tool–AI can be used for so much more than just a means of finishing a homework assignment.

Bunn

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:33:24 UTC

As a writer, you want to learn how to "build" your own essays. A great way of doing this is by reading what has already been constructed for inspiration and ideas.

Reading like a writer and analyzing all the author's choices can be daunting, so Bunn stresses that to be efficient it is important to prioritize the main ideas and information that is most beneficial to you. One way of doing this is to know what you will be writing and using this information to find similarities in the reading.

When reading like a writer, it is important to always ask yourself questions about the reading, and to look for answers as you read. Two good questions to always consider are the purpose of the writing and its audience.

Irvin

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:33:58 UTC

Irvin stresses that writing at the university level is nothing like the formulaic rubrics we had to follow in high school. Writing is a highly creative and thought-intensive process. We should take our time with developing every aspect of our writings.

University-level writing allows for much more nuance and freedom. This also means that there is much more expected from student writers, things that we never really looked into considering back in high school.

Arguing your viewpoint and supporting it with claims is an essential tenet of writing academically.

Carillo

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:34:35 UTC

Reading and writing go hand-in-hand.

College students struggle to write because reading and writing need to be taught simultaneously in order to be most effective.

Everyone comes to their own conclusions when reading, and connecting newly obtained information on personal experiences and beliefs.

Students need to be able to effectively read and understand different forms of media to write and think critically about them.

Learning to read and write simultaneously fosters important universal skills such as communication and critical thinking.

Edwards and Paz

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:35:02 UTC

We have a twisted idea of what good writers do. There is much more to good writing than pure intellectual prowess and genius.

The demand to always be completely original and creative is misguiding for new and developing writers.

We are told we need to strive to create completely original ideas, but we should instead strive to make the best use of our resources to put together something that presents a new perspective and conversation on old ideas and materials.

Parrott

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:35:31 UTC

We need not think of achieving perfection first try. Perfection comes with lots of time, practice, and revision.

Intelligence and writing ability are not pre-determined. We are not born expert writers. Skill comes from lots of time, practice, experience, and ability to communicate and collaborate.

Inexperienced writers are often punished for their lack of writing experience by having their work labeled as unoriginal and plagiarized.

Brockman

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:36:23 UTC

Students should always reflect upon their writing and take intellectual risks to grow as writers and students. Writing is developmental and you can always improve it.

Assessments are important. It is a beneficial practice to have your work assessed by others.

There is more to writing than simply just writing. Being able to read and manage sources and information is a critical step of the process as well.

Warner

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:41:56 UTC

-College level writing is different from high school from many aspects such as the word usage and how it is constructed.

-College level writing is much more difficult and complicated compared to high school writing, also, it will cost more time and energy.

-High school student use writing to prove they know something, however, university level writing use existing knowledge to explore new knowledge.

Miller and Schulz

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:46:20 UTC

Miller and Schulz discuss the concept of the "Multi-literacies Framework." Teaching students to utilize and master various literacies is beneficial for preparing students to be literate within and outside the classroom.

A call for change of our current academic system.

The Multi-literacies Framework is composed of 4 core literacies: institutional literacies, critical literacies (reading and understanding texts), traditional literacies, and academic literacies.

Murray

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:46:55 UTC

Writers need to take time to write before writing. Pre-writing is important because it helps give the writer an opportunity to formulate a plan and organize their ideas.

Writers experience a negative force which is known as resistance to writing, which is the fear and uncertainty that surrounds actually starting to write.

Writers experience 4 positive forces for writing, which helps push their writing further. This includes increasing information, increasing concern, the waiting audience, and the approaching deadline.

Lamott

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:47:21 UTC

Bad first drafts are a necessary step on the road to great writing. We shouldn't worry if our first draft is terrible, as this is something all writers experience, students and professionals.

Sometimes it is beneficial to just dump all your thoughts and ideas out on the paper. You can shape them later.

No one will ever see your first draft. First drafts are supposed to be messy and you shouldn’t be afraid to be imperfect. Your first draft, no matter how bad or disorganized you think it is, will pave the way for a successful final draft, which people will see.

Yancey

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:47:50 UTC

Historically, writing and composition had a smaller emphasis placed on them, only really used for testing purposes. However, reading and listening were much more valued in 20th-century society.

Today, writing is much more prevalent and it is an integral part of our society. In the digital age, writers and their audiences are everywhere.

The ability to write and compose text to the world through the internet is still a relatively new byproduct of technological advancements made in the 21st century. Yancy calls for reforms in current literacy teaching models, stressing that writing is now becoming a digital and network-based practice.

Harris

sapir11 — 2023-10-21 20:48:09 UTC

China’s leaders realized that the Chinese literacy system, which was based on unique characters for every word, was vastly unprepared for the quickly coming digital age.

A new Chinese literacy system was created. A system of Romanized characters, called Pinyin, was established to allow for typing out words on a keyboard. Taiwan used a similar system but with different characters, called Zhuyin.

China made a huge leap in efficiency when typing by incorporating a predictive autofill algorithm.

There are concerns about the predictive algorithm being cloud-based, thus giving it the ability to monitor people and only suggest words and phrases that follow the Chinese Communist Party’s narrative.

Johnson

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:52:49 UTC

Good ideas and innovations are come from the collision of different ideas.

Good ideas come from long-term thinking and communication.

Slow hunch & coffee house (turn things slow) lead to success.

"How is AI Changing How WeWrite and Create?”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:55:06 UTC

AI is a convenient tool in many aspects of life but not a good tool for college students to use to copy and paste their homework.

We should use this tool smartly, which means we should utilize this tool to help us gather information or ideas, instead of just copying from it.

With different audiences the writer has, it’s hard for AI generation tools to generate what we want.

Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:55:54 UTC

Reading as a writer would be very helpful for us, especially college students, to learn and get a basic idea on how to read and get the basic idea.

Reading as an writer would help us understand how to generate good writing.

No matter what we did with writing, all of our previous experience will contribute to RLW.

As we reading different articles, we should read them with different strategy.

Lennie Irvin’s “what is academic writing?”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:56:28 UTC

How successful a student is at writing depends on how well he understands what he is doing.

He points out several ideas about what college students should do in order to have good academic writing.

He also gave college students some formats on how to have a successful academic writing.

Ellen C.Carillo’s “READING AND WRITING ARE NOT CONNECTED”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:59:02 UTC

Students will learn to read and write better if they are taught them simultaneously.

Nowadays employers prefer students, even if they are in STEM majors, with good communication skills.

It’s hard for students who don’t have a good reading skill to understand difficult passage ideas.

Dustin Edwards and Enrique Paz’s “ONLY GENIUSES CAN BE WRITERS”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 20:59:36 UTC

-it’s true that some people can have good writing since they are smart, but sometime they just misleading other authors.

- Everyone can be a good author if they work with good methods such as collaboration, discussion.

- Writing is a thing that can be improved and just a definite writer with good or bad will cause the lost of good writer.

Jill Parrott “SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BORN GOOD WRITERS”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 21:00:04 UTC

- The article describes why people used to believes that the writing skill is fixed and cannot be improved.

- It mentions that teaching writing should not focus on what the author should not do first, instead, they should focus on how to have good writing.

- It asserts that there are no genius in writing, it just they tried practicing really hard which helped them improve.

Miller & Schulz’s “University Literacy…”

-calling for a shift in how higher education thinks about the needs of first-year students.

DONALD M.MURRAY’s Write before writing

chyxu — 2023-10-21 21:03:34 UTC

-The writing started from thing and planning instead of just put words in paper

-It’s important to have brainstorms, outlines and organized thinking before you start writing.

-Rehearsal on writing could enhance the quality of writing and it would help the author to get a much better and organized paper.

Anne Lamott from Bird by Bird “Shitty First Drafts”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 21:04:20 UTC

- It’s okay to have a bad first draft, the really innovation and creation happens during the editing draft.

-Let the author know that keeping on writing is their way to success.

-First draft is just starting and what author really needs to focus on is second and third draft/.

Kathleen Blake Yancey’s “Writing in the 21st Century”

chyxu — 2023-10-21 21:05:06 UTC

-In this article, it mentions that in the 20th century, the teacher always put efforts on riles and grammar instead of the writing process.

-She suggested the importance of developing a new writing method and an effective teaching method in the 21st century.

-She points out that the challenging the modern society is facing.

Johnny Harris ”How China Conquered The Keyboard”

-The way you learn to write in high school and the rules that you have to follow arent the same as in college and there isnt really any rules

-College writing takes time and you have to unlearn in order to learn how to write in college

-College writing is also about find new ways to express knowledge that you will be doing in the future not just for a grade

-AI writing systems that can produce human like writings can and do pose a threat to both educational skills and critical thinking skills

-AI will continue to be apart of our evolution and we need to adapt to how it will impact our future both for the good of efficiency and for the bad of what it might effect in the future

Bunn(read like a writer)

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 22:55:12 UTC

-Just how bunn did in the theater their is a inherent benefit to reading that text so closely and pondering why the author chose that word over another word and a skill that can be learned from that

-To read like a writer means to participate in what the author is doing and questioning why

-To learn from the current author on why hes doing that to incorporate into your own writings

Irvine(What is academic writing)

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:00:47 UTC

-The writing process and learning to write will never be linear its always a process that you have to do over and over again through cycles to get better at writing.

-Its an important skill to learn how to read research but its also important how to find patterns and similar topics and claims in multiple texts.

-When writing or doing a writing text do it in a way the will be meaningful and interests you so that you are motivated to find the elements that fit in the puzzle

-The struggles that students experience when getting to college are often from reading and the lack there of rather than just bad writing skills

-When being taught both reading and writing students can learn through multiple mediums and retain and whole lot more and learn more through the process

-With rejecting that integration of reading and writing in education students cant become proficient in both aspects and limits them in a certain human capacity

Edwards and Paz

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:12:10 UTC

-The renowned authors of this time that we consider the best writers ever have set a very unrealistic expectation for up and coming writers with even professors in writing expecting students to be at this level and hindering their rate of development

-In the past historically a lot of authors and writings can from the idea of conversing with one another and a emphasis on writing is a collection of knowledge

-The idea that writing is something that is solitary and you alone must be a genius writer needs to go and more meaningful collaboration where texts are based off of collaboration

Parrot

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:17:21 UTC

-When focusing on genius writers as they are distracts one from the social and contextual aspect of writing which makes it just a product of themselves rather than the collection of ideas

-New writers are often discouraged and depicted as someone that is less than because all they are is new to writing and being called by their first name since their not go enough

-Writing is also something that requires a a habit of self reflection on what they did and build habits that work for them

Brockman

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:23:08 UTC

-students during high school view writing tasks as hurdles to get through and dont actively work on their writing towards their future and think that this starts when they get to college.

-Even upper level students with high levels of reading and writing comprehension still struggle with find connections between texts and creating short and distinct summaries

-Students are often expected to join a long on going conversation such as one in a parlor and dont always have the proper guidance how to actively participate in that conversation

Miller and Schulz's literacy

-The use of four main literacies that they cover makes students have a more successful time in college

-Effective teaching in college for students should be more than just telling them how to but also giving them tools and skills

-Teachers play a crucial role in guiding and helping students navigate and learn the core literacies and evolving their education

Murray

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:42:47 UTC

-Prewriting is something is needed but also overlooked as not needed because it takes up time but is crucial to develops ideas and get some rust off

-A single line can set up the whole writing, the tone,voice, and direction or it can lead to nothing and you start somewhere else

-Some writers may need to slow down and develops ideas naturally rather than with a force

Lamott

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:45:12 UTC

-Bad/shitty drafts are apart of the process and its necessity to do. All good writers even the best ones take time to start writing at their very best and may even take two or three tries to get it

-Not all writers always know what they're doing or writing all the time and its okay to not always be excited about it

-To write you must also trust the process as its a long process

Yancey writing in the 21st century

achurd1 — 2023-10-21 23:47:51 UTC

-Writing is a essential skill that is needed to grow and learn both for development of ones self but also for the development of the world and passing on ones knowledge

-Writing is often underutilized over what it should be and it should be a collections of knowledge that builds a deeper understanding of what already know and dont know

-Writing needs a fresh perspective and one is already forming and we should welcome it with open energy

High school english is very follow the rules and guided based while college english is the complete opposite
It is important for people to see and understand this huge disconnect because there should not be one and it also informs college professors of where high school students were used to in english class
English is subjective and very open
- Has no boxes and has no rules
- Points this out to show students that they are not incorrect or wrong
Writing is not a specific thing and does not have any rules
- It is different to each person and that writing is a complicated task

Reading the text to figure out how you want to write a certain text
- By reading how something was written you can decide if you want to implement this into your own writing
Understanding why the author chose those types of words or the configurment of the text. By seeing things we can choose if we want to pick the same effects that the author chose in our own writing
Reading with a question in mind before starting the reading. Having a question of the intended purpose of the writing helps the reader get a better understanding of where the author was coming from.

Irvin

bscarano — 2023-10-22 00:50:53 UTC

Reading is complex and requires high levels of literacy
- Academic writing is difficult and takes time to achieve
Writing in college calls for more analysis and deeper things and can be broken down into different categories such as whos the audience, message, or purpose
There is multiple different writing styles and it will take a while to develop them well
Writing depends on the comprehension the person has and how well they analyze the text
- Takes lots of hard work to achieve academic writing

Carillo

Reading and writing should be taught together since there is studies showing that children grasp these topics better when they are taught simultaneously
Certain skills of how to read and write must be taught at a young age before it is too late
- Teachers must teach students how to read efficiently and write at the same time which will set them up for success later in life
The problem of when students get to high school and college and are expected to learn more literacy skills and this is formed from the differences of reading and writing

Edwards and Paz

bscarano — 2023-10-22 00:52:05 UTC

Showing that there are genius writers creates an unrealistic expectation for other people learning how to write
Collaborative ideas is extremely helpful as it is usually looked down upon
- Helps with ideas to flow more smoothly
- And to get different perspective
- Writing requires to talk to others to bounce ideas off of one and another
It is important to show the true side to ‘genius’ writers and that they struggle too

Parrott

bscarano — 2023-10-22 00:52:25 UTC

Writing is not set in stone and it is constantly evolving
Should not be focused on the product of writing but rather the reflection and process of it

- ‘Writing can change the writer, opening up new perspectives and beliefs or revealing what there is to learn”(2) exploring knowledge
- “Some come away quite critical of AI, believing more firmly in their own voice.”(5) Using your own perspective and voice helps motivate writing rather than struggling with trying to sound “smart” or in this case using AI, which makes everything too formal(boring)
- Allowing students to engage with AI shows them the limits they have regarding science, history, etc. and motivates them to learn more

“Writing is a confidence game” (3) students who struggle with writing might lack confidence when they don’t feel they sound “smart” enough which shouldn’t be the case in writing

Carillo

ktapia29 — 2023-10-22 01:52:32 UTC

Students are able to comprehend certain writing tasks, when instructed to practice both reading and writing at the same time
Reading should promote critical thinking skills, raise questions, open up different perspective
A reading strategy used for complex text is rhetorical reading where the reader has to pay attention to where the text is persuading them. Allows them to create their own arguments

“Skill” shouldn’t be a word to fear if we define skill as not a natural talent but habits that can be developed, learned and taught
Persistence is a powerful concept, emphasizing that experience(process of learning) is more powerful than an unchangeable ability (natural talent)
Authors are always training their composition, not only through writing but, editing and publishing. Good writers are always more trained through daily interaction with language

“How to Read Like a Writer”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 02:00:43 UTC

Understanding the author’s purpose (message, intended audience) is useful inspiration when determining one’s own direction in their own writing

Ask yourself “why?” when reading an author's work. Considering the different techniques that could’ve been implemented. How would the direction of the writing change accordingly?

Consider the genre when reading and writing. What techniques are effectively applicable?

“Reading and writing are not connected”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 02:01:18 UTC

Reading is not emphasized as much as a tool for writing.

Many students around the world have underdeveloped reading abilities and thus comprehension abilities.

Reading is essential in communication

(reading → comprehension → communication)

Johnson

ktapia29 — 2023-10-22 02:02:33 UTC

-reading and writing are like partners, you need to have both of them down to be a good reader or writer
-writing is more prioritized over reading in college even though poorer reading abilities correlate to poorer writing abilities
-in the real world, people see you based on how you communicate more than your background, if you learn to read and write, you can communicate better

Brockman

jajzhou — 2023-10-22 03:03:25 UTC

-professors focus on complexity and how well you understand what you’re writing about
-writing can also help reading as it forces you to know how to read to understand the material and write about it
-putting things in our own words and interpreting a text is the goal of reading

Murray

-first drafts are most likely not going to be perfect, that’s why they’re the first draft
-put everything that you’re thinking of down on the paper, you can refine it later
- In the end, all that matters is the final draft, so it’s better to have a bad first draft and learn from the mistakes so the final draft doesn’t have the same flaws.

John Warner “The High school/College Writing Classroom Disconnect"

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:31:53 UTC

There is a gap of knowledge/skill in writing between the highschool and the college level, as the high school level writing doesn’t prepare students well enough for them to adjust into the college level perfectly.
College level writing is a should have representation of true writing, that being no word or sentence restrictions, paragraph style structure, or proper citation of a certain format
In order for students to succeed in writing, they must forget old habits taught in high school and be more free in writing.

Johnson

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:32:41 UTC

People need to be involved with “parlors”, or a meeting place where ideas can be discussed or shared.

Ideas and such don’t instantly appear and become fully planned out, but it is a process of brainstorming , collaborating, and understanding

Great ideas don’t come out of thin air, they come from older ideas and those ideas are built upon or structure in a new way or improved upon

Anson - “How is AI Changing How We Write and Create?”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:33:36 UTC

AI writing has become a common thing in the modern world.

AI works can be used to inspire and help begin a foundation for writers.

Ai can also take away the research or learning aspect of writing.

Many artists or producers can be actively replaced by AI, it is that good at imitation.

Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:34:32 UTC

RWL can take inspiration or develop a similar writing style, genre or tone to their pieces.

Students should use RLW on published work, as it allows master pieces, or famous works to have their parts (techniques and style), to be revitalized into potentially improved or better writing pieces.

Just like how an architect needs to learn how to build, a writer must read deep into the writing to improve their work.

Irvin - “What is “Academic” Writing”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:35:35 UTC

Often times, individuals believe in certain myths of writing, primarily being that there needs to be a certain format to follow or word choice, but that's not true.

Writers should not forget about their audience, writing of course needs to be taken within the creator’s perspective but the audience should also be taken in consideration also.

Writing can be really complex, the main characteristics of one's writing should be placed in effort, understanding, great description upon perspective, and more.

Ellen C. Carillo - “Reading and Writing Are Not Connected”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:36:33 UTC

Writing is essentially putting words and ideas together and reading is basically the same thing.

Reading and writing are very similar things and should not be considered separate things as both consist of the same process or properties, as well as having the same teachings.

Communication is important in this day in age, whether it be in democracy or in employment, and reading and writing are both fundamental skills needed for great communication.

Dustin Edward & Enrique Paz - “Only Geniuses can be Writers”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:37:27 UTC

It is expected for someone to avoid plagiarism, and doing that is to come up with something original, but being original is the most frustrating part to writers.

The most genius writers of our time probably act similarly to us, having frustration, stress, being behind on a deadline, and etc.

Writers were meant to collaborate and build upon each other's ideas, and gain inspiration from another's work in order to improve it themselves

Jill Parrott - “Some People are Just Born Good Writers”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:38:19 UTC

Back in the days, some people of culture were more fortunate than others, education and money wise, but now our cultural situation is more fair and equal.

Even the most expert writers can produce poor work if they lack fundamental understanding, and only with practice and review can one improve their work.

People are not always born with a special talent, but even then if someone is talented, they would still require practice and review in order for them to polish and improve their skill.

Brockman’s “What do Professors Really Say about College Writing”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:39:14 UTC

As stated by Brockman, professors tend to focus on “complexity” and determine whether a student understood the material.

Whether an individual is a professor or a student, it is a basic fundamental that a writer must write or use their own diction and wording.

Brockman agrees that assignments are necessary to be placed on students as it expands their comprehension and understanding with reading and writing.

Miller & Schulz’s “University Literacy…”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:43:11 UTC

University students need to build a basic foundation or skill/technique of literacies in order to be successful

Students must read deeper, in a certain perspective, so that they can understand more of the thought behind the writing or how the words affect the representation of the text generally.

Miller and Schultz mentions how some people may have be "gifted" or inherited better opportunities than others.

Murray’s “Write Before Writing”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:44:16 UTC

Murray believes that there’s a “negative force”, that procrastination, lack of focus, or disconnection with a writer’s topic causes failure in writing.

Murray firmly stands with the idea of prewriting being the main keys of improving or perfecting one’s writing, as one must know what to prepare, plan, etc.

“Rehearsal” is another force that Murray teaches about, and how rewriting or reworking drafts creates many potential pathways on how to convey the writer’s message.

Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:44:53 UTC

Starting point of Lamott’s writing states that everyone is going to have a “shitty” first draft and will then lead to a great second and third draft.

Lamott believes it’s a common occurrence for new writers to feel stressed for not finding the perfect phrasing at the start, and thinks that people shouldn’t stress about perfection

Personal experience of Lamott, she writes a terrible first draft which stresses her and influences her to quickly review and revise a new and improved second draft.

Kathleen Blake Yancey - “Writing in the 21st Century”

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:46:32 UTC

Yancey believes that there are three areas of struggle in 21st Century Writing, that being designing new models of writing, new curriculums for these models, and teaching models for the curriculums.

In the beginning of the 20th century, some essay grading methods and such were becoming obsolete allowing better writing grading and methods to be made to replace “obsolete” methods.

The 21st century is filled with tons of resources and various forms of media that influence how we read and write, therefore we should correlate this to a system to teach or use.

Johnny Harris - “How China Conquered the Keyboard"

sglindain — 2023-10-22 03:47:07 UTC

During the times of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, the keyboard was a new tool that allowed the western side of the world to communicate and produce material more efficiently than other countries such as China.

One of China’s methods of “mastering” a keyboard with their thousands of characters is by using Roman sounding or spelling to convert the text into Chinese characters.

Another method in Thailand was made, a new Alphabet was made to fit on the keyboard, which gave new and efficient progress with the writing field

Academic Writing in College

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:51:04 UTC

Writing expectations from highschool greatly differ from that of college.

Professors often have to help students relearn literacy as a whole to adapt to college level literacy.

The restrictive reading habits we have learned in highschool are holding back our writing potential.

What is Academic Writing?

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:51:43 UTC

“Writing sense” is important to effectively write in college

There are 3 common types of writing assignments in college

There is a critical trend in most qualitative college writings

“What are the cognitive consequences of machine-generated writing?”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:52:11 UTC

AI effectively negates the intellectually inspiring thinking process that humans must use in more complex forms of writing

AI may actually help students grow intellectually by providing literacy help to a certain degree

The use of AI provokes questions and fear about “plagiarism” both for art and writing

“What Do Professors Really Say About College Writing?”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:53:21 UTC

College professors value intellectual risk taking as well as challenging oneself through in-depth analysis.

Professors value those who are able to process, cite, synthesize, and incorporate sources into their work

Incorporate a growth mindset in writing, acknowledge that you don’t know everything about college writing despite high school level

“Shitty First Drafts”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:53:40 UTC

No good writer is able to suddenly begin writing full qualitative passages out of nowhere

Many writers don’t know what they’re going to write about until they have written about it, pull out ideas and lines they like

Bad first drafts are typically needed to begin the process of writing: trust the process

“Write before Writing”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:54:02 UTC

consciously sitting on an idea may actually help it subconsciously develop and bloom.

Rehearsal includes visualizing and planning out what you are going to write repeatedly as well as gaining additional ideas by interacting with others and brainstorming

consider the genre, point of view, voice, news they want to convey, line, image, pattern, and problem.

“SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BORN GOOD WRITERS”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:54:30 UTC

Anyone can become a good writer with enough persistence and the correct mindset: accumulate experience by writing and reflecting more to become a better writer

Writing should be thought of as a social based activity rather than an art project in order to gain the sense of "feeling" like an author. Participating in community blogs or service learning may help with this

Natural talent exists, some people have to simply work harder. That should not be used as an excuse to become the best writer one can possibly be: growth mindset

“ONLY GENIUSES CAN BE GOOD WRITERS”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:54:57 UTC

We place high expectations on ourselves on being proper authors by being completely “original”:, due to idolization of great reclusive genius writers

Articles of originality, introduction to copyright, and published books foster the idolization of being a genius

Imitation and inspiration from other "unoriginal" sources has been used in the past to innovate and create original ideas and should be used today

We should aim to being a social author rather than a reclusive one: we talk to other people, ask for help from peers, and use others' writings as inspirations

“Writing in the 21st Century”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:55:33 UTC

An writing model adequate for the 21st century is that that includes the role of the public, the most engaged audience people engage with everyday through modern technology

Curriculum must consider writing as a expansive activity and its a influence on the world

How can we use modern technology to help teach this curriculum? Between students (students texting one another for help) and teachers (communicating and helping students on assignments through email). This includes chatting software (email/texting).

“How China Conquered The Keyboard”

nlthi — 2023-10-22 03:56:40 UTC

When the qwerty keyboard took over the world in communication and programming, China faced an issue with its limit of characters.

China is technologically inferior (behind computer literacy) to The west due to the qwerty keyboard's limitations to the Chinese

System called pinyin created to sound out Chinese words to teach Chinese literacy, implemented into auto translation technology

China used predictive text to further speed up typing on the qwerty keyboard, the predictive system allowed people to type ridiculously fast (242 wpm), about 2 times the average of the west

"University literacy: A multi-literacy model"

nlthi — 2023-10-22 04:45:23 UTC

The multi literacy model is a optimal way of teaching students literacy

The 4 literacies of the multi literacy model are: institutional (using/participating in school resources), critical (analyzing the text's perspective and relate it to yours), traditional (grammar, comprehension, communication), academic (adapting one's writing style according to assigned needs).

To keep up with the ever expanding age of literacy, its good to build up our cultural capital (accumulated academic/social experience) and virtual backpack (additional accumulated accumulated from one's upbringing).

The ideal classroom environment for integrating the multiliteracy idea would be that that combines both lecture and instruction together to encourage engagement between professor and student.

Where good ideas come from

nlthi — 2023-10-22 04:54:47 UTC

Good ideas do not typically form in a spontaneous euruka moment

Ideas mingle to create new ones where people collaborate and interact (parlors melting pots)

Innovation and deep thinking are built from stitchingold ideas that take time

Warner

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 04:56:38 UTC

There are no hard “rules” in writing because there are different situations to use different things in.

High school writing teaches you the opposite of college writing which means students have to unlearn what they were taught for their 4 years in high school.

Colleges and high schools do not communicate properly on what their students need to learn in order to be prepared for college writing.

Yancey

jajzhou — 2023-10-22 04:59:18 UTC

-literacy studies should go beyond the school and match that of the modern world
-technology is becoming a medium that links all people, and writers have a great place to get information and inspiration
-educations systems should expand their curriculum to teach students about their generation's literacy instead of the old one

Johnson

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:01:12 UTC

Places where communication occurred were where great ideas were created

Good ideas don't come from the self, they have to be thought of

Collaboration and critical thinking in coffeehouses were where people thought new things

Anson

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:01:37 UTC

AI does not allow the user to expand their critical thinking skills because it does the work and research for them.

AI reduces the need for writers because it finds new opinions and ideas that people do not have.

AI is a large problem in universities due to its ability to have students get away with cheating on papers.

Bunn

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:01:58 UTC

Reading like a writer means thinking about every choice the writer made and the reasons behind those choices.

Think about and research the context behind the literature to better analyze it.

Different genres have different things you should look for while analyzing.

Irvin

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:02:19 UTC

Different types of prompts require different styles of approaching them and forming a thesis.

Many of the writing rules taught in high school do not apply to college writing.

Believing that you need to be a genius to write causes the writer to never be able to improve.

Carillo

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:02:38 UTC

Reading is necessary for people to not be ignorant in the real world.

Reading and writing are analogous to the chicken and the egg (there cannot be one without the other).

Reading is necessary for critical thinking skills to be developed which will then improve one’s writing.

Edwards and Paz

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:03:10 UTC

Good writing and ideas come from interaction with the world and other people, not from within oneself.

People are not predetermined from birth to write well, they learn to do it.

In the past, writers were thought of as innately good in order to secure jobs which is where that incorrect belief comes from.

Parrott

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:03:24 UTC

Writers are not just born as amazing writers, they go through a process and through practice become good.

Helping new writers reflect on their work will allow them to like writing more.

New writers are stigmatized and compared to established writers which dissuades them from wanting to write.

Harris

jajzhou — 2023-10-22 05:03:41 UTC

-literacy is a way for people to communicate, with the creation of the computer, being able to type fast was the best method of communication
-China had to convert their entire character system to a phonetic system so they can type easier
-China uses AI to help predict what people are going to say so they can type even faster

Brockman

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:03:43 UTC

Teachers do not mention the rigid rules of high school writing as a necessity to succeed in college writing.

Professors believe students do not have the ability to write well because they do not believe they have the ability to contextualize the paper well.

Critically thinking and critiquing sources is important when analyzing them in order to fully know what they are talking about.

Warner

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:05:19 UTC

In Warner's view, in high school education, students do not have a good understanding of the truth of writing, but instead write under various requirements and rules, such as using five-paragraph essays and avoiding the use of personal pronouns like "I", "we", "you". But this is not what college writing really needs.
Warner argues that True writing serves and focuses on the purpose and audience of writing, and requires students to make proper choices when writing, just like true writers do. Students should assume the responsibility of authorship when creating. Educators should give students the right guidance, not make students think that they don't have the same ability to make choices as writers when it comes to writing.
The author also calls for more communication between high school, secondary education, and higher education. Especially higher education should shoulder the responsibility of communication and accurately convey the true purpose and process of college writing to high school education

Anson

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:06:13 UTC

Anson affirms the value of machine generated writing. It can indeed help people complete basic daily writing tasks, rescue people from simple and time-consuming writing, and improve their work and learning efficiency. However, machine generated writing cannot completely replace humans, as artificial intelligence cannot perform well when faced with materials and creations that require deep understanding, especially those that cannot be covered by existing information.
Anson emphasizes the relationship between writing and thinking. The essence of writing is 'alternating between mental formulation and textual output'. When students write, they are not only generating text, but more importantly, they are comparing the ideas in their minds with the actual situation to make choices and judgments. The cognition is constantly formed and revised in this process.
In Anson's view, relying solely on artificial intelligence in education will affect the integrity of the education system and hinder the development of students' intelligence.

Bunn

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:07:06 UTC

Bunn emphasizes the importance of reading for writing. Through Bunn's own experience of reading word by word in the theater, it has been demonstrated that reading is not only about understanding the content of the article, but more importantly, understanding how the author constructs his work.
Bunn encourages readers to read like a writer. This method focuses on the perspective of readers when reading: they need to face creative choices like writers, and through analysis and comparison, ultimately determine choices that may be the same or different from the original text. During this process, the readers become sensitive to the choices in the article just like being a writer.
Bunn believes that when reading like a writer, the reader's personal writing experience can lay the foundation for understanding how the author constructs his work. Because in personal creation, readers will have more similar creative experiences, making it easier for readers to identify the choices made by the author and understand the motivations behind them during the reading process.

Irvin

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:07:42 UTC

Irvin believes that academic writing is a distinct genre and a valuable tool for students. Because students can participate in larger academic dialogues through academic writing, they should not only consider academic writing as the assignment completed under the instruction, but also understand and recognize the significance and value of academic writing and actively use it.
Irvin emphasizes that the audience for academic writing is not just the instructor for students, but also peers, scholars in the field, and future readers. This requires students to pay attention to a broader vision and expectations when conducting academic writing and effectively complete academic writing.
Irvin believes that there is a close connection between critical thinking and academic writing. Academic writing provides a platform for students to showcase their critical thinking and propose reasonable arguments. Academic writing itself is not just a tool, but in this process, students deepen their understanding of academia and knowledge by colliding with others' perspectives

Carillo

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:08:45 UTC

Carillo emphasizes the importance of combining reading and writing. Because the combination of the two has been proven to effectively improve students' language abilities.
Many times students have already encountered difficulties while reading. When they need to express or use the reading content themselves, their difficulties cannot be simply attributed to the issue of writing proficiency.
What has always been overlooked is the creativity of reading itself, as reading is not just about obtaining information. In this process, there is a transaction between readers and authors. To a large extent, such transactions construct people's thinking and ideas

Miller and Schulz

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:08:59 UTC

Students do not have the same backgrounds which means they will not be starting from the same place in a college classroom.

Writing and reading should be applied more to a social context instead of just an academic one in college.

More literacies need to be taught and applied to the internet and digital media because of all the information that is accessible on there.

Murray

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:09:14 UTC

Wasting time and daydreaming before writing is alright to do because it allows for more thinking about writing.
Something needs to prompt the writing process such as an image or a quote or a symbol in day-to-day life which allows the writer to have a idea they will be able to write about.

Writers have pressures that allow them to get the job done: the deadline, a lot of information about the subject, and a desire to write well about that specific topic.

Lamott

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:09:26 UTC

The first draft of any piece of writing will be very bad and that is ok.

No great writer has a perfect first draft–they all struggle just as any other normal person.

The first draft will be trash, the second draft will be better, and the third draft will be as good as you can make it.

Yancey

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:09:38 UTC

Writing should be catered more towards the general public instead of specific designations.

Educational institutions need to develop a better system of teaching reading and writing where writing should be a bigger focus.

The internet is expanding and students need to learn how to use it to benefit their academic learning and to sort through the large amount of material on the internet.

Harris

tpate14 — 2023-10-22 05:09:51 UTC

Text generation can be used to control what people think and limit their critical analysis and thinking skills.

Technology will always be advancing and society needs to find a way to keep up and integrate it into current systems.

The first draft of the online Chinese texting system allowed for improvement and a system that is better than the Western typing system.

Edwards and Paz

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:10:02 UTC

1. The authors deny the myth of solitary genius author. In the eyes of the authors, this is unrealistic and harmful. Because such a writer's identity image hinders people's further attempts at writing, the writer's identity appears unattainable.

2. The authors emphasize the importance of collaboration in writing. People deepen their understanding of materials by collaborating with each other during the writing process, helping them each improve their skills. This should also be applied to modern writing education.

3. The authors call for a redefinition of the author's identity, emphasizing the author's social participation and influence. Because the success of a writer cannot rely solely on their innate talent but can be achieved through interaction with others and other information.

Parrott

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:10:35 UTC

The author does not believe that the so-called 'genius author' is someone with a talent for writing but believes that writing is a process in which people constantly improve through learning and practice.
Although in normal writing instruction, people placed more emphasis on the outcome rather than the writing process. However, the process of writing cannot be ignored, because only in this process, with people's metacognition, persistence and reflection, people’s writing skills can be improved.
With the development of society, technology has gradually changed the traditional writing mode. Through various online platforms, people can read, write, respond, and share their works with each other. The author encourages writers to take advantage of such opportunities and participate in it which can help improve their writing skills.

Brockman

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:11:02 UTC

Writing as a skill is not limited to the subject of English. Professors from different fields believe that writing is an important tool and communication skill for talents in various fields. This reflects the interdisciplinary role of writing in the field of higher education.
In college writing classes, students are required to read works or genres they were previously unfamiliar with. This is an intellectual challenge that students should be encouraged to participate in. Students are constantly growing their abilities and insights in such adventures.
At the same time, with the development of society, the increased skills and abilities acquired by students in college writing classes can be transformed into practical productivity through the Multi-literacy Model proposed in the article.

Miller and Schulz

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:11:30 UTC

The authors emphasize the importance of establishing a Multi literacies Model in the 21st century. With the development of technology and society, writing education should also evolve, surpassing traditional reading and writing education and covering a wider range of literature. This requires educators and the education system to adopt more comprehensive educational methods and systems.
The authors believe that in the 21st century, critical writing transcends traditional meaning and becomes more closely related to social practice. Students use critical thinking to understand the dynamics of power, ideology, and social meanings in articles and materials, and combine them with practical social practice.
The author believes that Multi-literaties can also play a role in educational opportunities and fairness. Because such diverse literature can help students from various backgrounds and levels successfully transition to higher education, and better promote social and educational equity

Murray

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:12:06 UTC

Teachers and writers often believe that procrastination before writing is evil, but in Murray's view, it is necessary. Because during this process, students or authors are still thinking, even unintentionally. And such imagination and thinking are a crucial part of writing and creation. Writing is not a traditional concept that only stays in the pen and paper part, and the inner imagination before writing is also an inseparable part of it.
In Murray's view, the process of prewriting brings writers richer materials and more divergent thinking. And all these things can be used in later creations. In addition, writers' thinking about the themes they need to create is also constantly deepening. Therefore, prewriting is a good tool for writing creation.
Murray believes that the creative process is not linear as people believe. During this process, the steps of prewriting, writing, and revising are constantly occurring. Because as the creation progresses, the author may raise new questions. These questions prompt the author to generate new ideas, so the author will go through the steps mentioned above again.

Lamott

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:12:35 UTC

In Lamott's view, writers should step out of the trap of perfectionism. Because even outstanding writers cannot produce very elegant works in their initial drafts. So, the existence of a terrible first draft is acceptable and reasonable.
Lamott proposed that the existence of the first draft is a place to help writers spread their thinking and generate creativity. Perhaps in the eyes of the authors themselves, the content of the first draft may bring shame, but in this process of divergent imagination, they will gain valuable sources of ideas and inspiration.
Lamott believes that the most crucial thing is to treat writing as a process. And the first draft is just the normal beginning of such a process. Writers do not need to put too much pressure on themselves in this stage but should instead focus on improving and revising their works.

Yancey

wnjli — 2023-10-22 05:13:06 UTC

Yancey noticed that society has made reading a more ideal way of cultivating people compared to writing. For countries and society, promoting reading to make people obedient is a means of maintaining national and social security and stability. Reading, on the other hand, is not only considered hard work, but the freedom of creation is also not advocated.
Yancey also supports that with the arrival of the 21st century, the impact of technology on writing is becoming increasingly significant. Especially the personal computer, it has changed the traditional writing mode and made interaction central to creation.
Yancey believes that with the rise of social media in the 21st century, the role of the audience is also being redefined. People's participation in community and online life through writing means that traditional writing concepts are being challenged. People not only learn how to become writers through classroom learning, but also constantly adapt to the identity of creators in such daily activities.

1. In the process of modernization in China, in order to catch up with the Western world in the computer field, Chinese characters were converted into pinyin for using the keyboard to input effectively.
2. Due to the ideological differences between China and Taiwan, Taiwan refused to promote Pinyin and still decided to use Zhuyin as a keyboard input method for Chinese characters.
3. China has greatly improved the efficiency of inputting Chinese characters into computers by introducing predictive algorithms into input methods.
4. In recent years, China has introduced cloud based predictive texting into input methods, which collect and organize user input data in the cloud to further predict the texting of all users.

Carillo

ycliao2 — 2023-10-22 06:50:24 UTC

Reading and writing are often taught together because of their natural synergy. Reading helps students understand how written language works, while writing helps them apply what they've learned through reading.

It is important to grasp the opportunity of reading to improve our analysis, interpretation, and other useful skills.

We live in a generation in which visual images are everywhere, and we can get distracted by them, so we need to read more, or we might encounter great difficulties.

Brockman

Five-paragraph essays or "traditional" high school research papers are not essential in college writing.

1. Viewpoints are slowly formed, rather than the perceived flash of inspiration. Because people often have the same idea before they suddenly come up with something.
2. The accumulation of ideas is important, just like the structure of brain neurons. Only with enough ideas can they connect and generate new ideas.
3. Johnson emphasizes mutual cooperation, as different people can share different experiences, ideas, and perspectives in the process of collaboration, creating a favorable environment for the flow and collision of ideas, which is conducive to the birth of new ideas.
