"Writing in the 21st Century"

“Writing in the 21^st Century”

1. developing new models of writing, designing a new curriculum supporting those models and creating models for teaching that curriculum

2. in spite of cultures that devalued writing, prohibitions against females and against blacks, and in spite of being too young.

3. We the people need to write more and we need to urge others to write more.

4. Reading can have a control on society, while writing is almost allowing a break of control.. People tend to involve reading with sensual and emotional pleasure and tend to involve writing with pain or isolation. I can relate to the reading, I love to read a good book in my bed or somewhere outside when the weather is nice.

5. People relate writing to hard work. It is not seen as good fun or an enjoyable break it makes you think really hard. It feels like your brain is being fried on a pan.

6. Process writing is a series of overlapping steps that most writers and authors use when creating some form of writing.

7. Self-sponsored writing is a writing that belongs to the writer, not to an institution, with the result those people- students, senior citizens, employees, volunteers, family members, sensible and non-sensible people alike-will want to compose and do- on the same page and on the screen and on the network- to each other. It is basically free writing and composed for absolutely anyone. I tend to follow this style of writing on the social media sites, such as Facebook or Twitter. That is all.

8. The 21^st century is the Age of Composition because people are starting to involve themselves more heavily and sometimes just for the fun of it. People, basically, are just contributing to the world of writing, even the lost ones. Apparently, this is the time for the Age of Literacy because we are all connected to it via Internet and such.

9. I think the “so what” to this entire article is that literacy is constantly being defined as something new, and it will always change. Now, we are a world that is defined through the Internet and social media. I think it is saying that literacy is everywhere and involves everything.

10. Literacy has a big relation to physically reading and writing text and how we should be able to do both just as the average person can.
