Revisualising Composition

       There was a lot of different sections discussed in the article Revisualizing Composition.  The author talked about different genres that teens use the most in their everyday lives.  Some say that texting is a form of writing, while others say it is not an academic way to describe writing.  The research method the author used was effective in getting clear and logical answers.  He used the most common method, which was the Survey.  I think this was the best way authors are able to get true answers based on experiences the participants go through in their daily lives.  Another method the author used was Methodology, which was trying to find the similarities of the participants to the demographic or file of College students.  The author concluded that the majority of the participants were 19 years old, meaning that they enrolled n college right after high school.  This was similar to the US institutions for higher education. Although SMS Texts is the most frequently written by teens outside of school, I think this is still not an official type of composing.  The fact that it is writing down letters on smart phone is where many people say it is composing, but writing in my opinion is what professional writers write, or famous authors of some sort. The second most frequently used genre is Email and the third frequently used was Lecture notes.  The organization of the article was very unique and easy for the readers to understand.  I think the most important section in the article was " Participants are most often motivated by the need of school assignments."  This section states that ninety three percent of the participants say that this genre is frequently used because it is for a school assignment and they 'Must" do it.  I think this applies to a lot of college teens, especially the freshman students.  You will not find a lot of people write just for fun, many write because they have major grades associated with a certain assignment they must complete.  The article overall was great in my opinion.  A lot of important topics were discussed.
