It mentioned in the article that she started writing this in her College Writing II class. Why is that class so important? I am going to explain why it is important to learn college writing. College Writing is very important toward learning to succeed in a profession. A wide variety of career fields will require employees to frequently express their thoughts and information through writing. Tasks that may be required in the workplace include memos, reports and detailed reviews. Whether the aspiring professional knows it or not, most career fields will require writing as a form of communication, and if the skill of college writing is mastered, effectively expressing thoughts in an organized manner becomes much easier. Also important is having a broad vocabulary. A broad vocabulary is an essential component of writing fluidly and as a student learns college writing, he or she will inevitably expand his or her vocabulary. As follows, a stronger vocabulary equates with better communication skills and more confidence when speaking. Learning college writing is important to a career in more ways. Certain careers require students to learn different styles of writing and students will generally learn to write the various types of documents respective to the major they are studying. Learning college writing is important to a career in a variety of ways. College writing improves students ability to express themselves formally on paper and as a result, will often improve their ability to communicate their thoughts verbally. Writing and good writing skills are necessary in almost every career field, regardless of how thorough it may be. In college, students are equipped to write in the style necessary to their chosen professions. Refining the writing skills learned in college will set students up for success in the workforce as they gain confidence in writing and speaking.

Revisualizing Composition

to me sending text messages, emails, or comments is a type of writing. I mean you are just typing out what you want to say so of course that has to be a type of writing. any type of communicaton that deals with typing or writing anything out is definetly type of writing and it will also help you you. Text messaging is currently one of the more popular, with billions of estimated users worldwide. Given this popularity, many educators and parents have started to let there kids use it more often because it helps educate them and it also  benefits  any education to incorporating texting in the classroom. Texting and “text speak” can be used to help build foundational reading skills, such as word recognition and phonological awareness. It can also be used to generate discussions around formal and informal language  and writing for different tasks, audiences, and purposes, all of which are necessary skills for meeting College and Career Readiness Standards in reading, writing, language, and speaking and listening. Although it may not seem like it, texting is writing, and students who are frequent texters are therefore frequent writers. As such, it makes sense to harness all of this energy to help your students build their writing skill.
