Writing and Technology

Technology really helps students these days. It helps the student research for their paper. It also helps people practice their writing skills. Good writing is a very important to your future if you want to be successful. Teens are motivated to do better if they have an interesting topic to write about. This article is giving information from a survey or interview about how teens and students write and using technology to do their writing. It is also saying that the internet is the number one primary source to use when writing a paper. They mention in the article that text messaging and communication over the internet is not in any way writing. In my mind i think it is because you are still writing but you are typing it out. It is just like writing a paper then getting on your lap top and writing it out. There is not a lot of differences to it. I mean i can see where there is a difference but it basically the same thing. Text messaging, i guess, has its own language. People have came up with different abbriviations for different words, such as you is "u" and to, too, and two is "2". That is where the author of the article is saying text messaging and internet communication is different. Students who learn how to write better in school, it will have a major improvement on future writing and will be extremely benefit anyone in their future. Parents encourage their kids to use the computer to do research when writing. It can help you find benefitual information.

comparing writing process

Me and Austin have some similarties and some differences. When he starts to write he likes to listen to music. I can not listen to music just because It really distrats me and I just can not stay focused at all. I have to be isolated and have to be very quite. We both just being to type away and just go with the flow when we begin to write our paper. He uses some thing called pages while I am over here using Microsoft word because I find it a lot better than the pages he uses. It comes with a lot of accessories. He starts on a paper the day before its due and I start on it about 3 days before its due so I know I have enough time to type it and get al my ideas together for the paper.  We both like to be in our room and do our paper cause we like to be isolated from everyone and everything so we do not get easily distracted by the little things. We both like to have the Tv on. We both preferred a sports. He wanted nascar on and I wanted baseball on just because it eases our minds when we write and it helps us concentrate. We both also like to take our time when we write a paper. He has three rough drafts that he does and I only have like 1 unless you count the final draft that would make it 2. We both are very good very good at using descriptive writing. we can takes peoples mind on a complete journey and they would be satisfied on what they had just read. We both like to eat a lot of junk food when we write because it helps us write a lot better when we are not hungry.

1. They were very impressive. They were also different, that is what I like about his writing process. It is totally different then a lot of people that write. I liked how he took his time. When people take there time on a writing process, there writing tend to be really good. Well he does a lot different then me, so there aren’t a lot of similarities between him and me. There are a lot of differences. I like to just start writing and just go with the flow.  It really helps me and  I write a lot better and my papers are very good.

3. He learns a better way of writing. He learned the ways of the writing process and helped him how to really be dedicated to his writings. Be devoted to what you are writing will always help you become a better writer.

5. It really confused me. I don’t understand why he did that. I mean I guess it helped him, but I just don’t agree with it. It did give a lot of helpful info though. They had really good comparing and contrast and that gave a lot of information. I mean some of it was very irrelvent. People do not need to know any of that. People do not care, so do not include that in anything. It did catch me by surprise because I did not know some of those things they talked about in that I did not know. It was a good idea to include those things.

My Writing Process

When I write I do a lot of weird things. I tend to just be in my own happy place, just like in the movie happy Gilmore. I always come up with a good thesis statement. I come up with great ideas and plug them into my writing. I like to be in my room all alone because when I am alone I come up with better ideas and my writings are a lot better. I also like to have a dictionary by my side so I can get better words in my writings. I like to just start writing away. After I do that I go back and see what I have repeated and I will begin to write something different. I like to have all my paper work by me so I know what exactly what to write. I normally just go start writing and never really plan out what I am going to write because I just do better that way and come up with everything else easier like that. It helps me to stay on point and not get off point. It also helps me by just going with the flow and I know exactly what I am writing. I always do a “shitty first draft” then I am off to my final paper. Rough draft helps me realize my mistakes that I have made and I go back and add or subtract anything that does not belong. I like to lay on my bed with baseball or basketball on, this really helps me write a lot better then just sitting in a room with nothing in it. I also like to have some music going because when I  have music going It is like waking up my brain and brain is on point with what I need to write. it helps me write a lot better then I would normally do. I also like to eat chips and dip when I write, it helps me come up with better facts.
