Writing in the 21st century

1. Developing a new method or model of writing, coming up with a curriculum to support such methods, and then creating models to teach the methods.
2. In spite of cultures that devalued writing, prohibitions against females and against blacks and in spite of being too young.
3. That as a society we need to write more and encourage the people around as to write more as well.
4. Reading can kind of control society, whereas writing is almost allowing a break of control. Reading is usually related to emotional and enjoyable things where writing can be a lot more serious as times and more about pain.
5. People relate writing to hard work since it requires more energy than reading. It is not looked at as fun, compared to reading an enjoyable book in your spare time. I can relate to this because writing can sometimes stress you out so much you head starts to throb.
6. Process writing consists of invention, drafting, peer review, reflection, revising, rewriting, and finally publishing.
7. A writing that belongs to the writer with the result that people want to compose and do to each other.
8. Due to blogs and social networking sites, more and more writers are being created these days.
9. Yancey argues that the meaning of literacy has changed, so the education for writing should be changed too.
10. Yancey defines literacy as an ability to read and write and produce something not only on paper, but on social media sites as well.
