Some believe that writing is easy. For those people writing may come naturally. They may write like poets, authors, or even professional writers.

Whether it be children, teens or adults I could have the same topic but approach a different method and or teaching. Each age or gender group has a different set of knowledge of a subject. Such as, the letters of the alphabet. When talking to kids I can teach them how to remember them, how many letters are in the alphabet, and how to write them. For this I do not have to do any type of research. I could flashback to when I was in preschool or kindergarten. I could sing “now I know my ABC’s”. Also have them color pictures and trace the letters. Whereas with teens and or adults I could teach where the alphabet originated from. As for this I would need to do some research. Because me personally I do not know where the alphabet originated from.

I knew who my audience was and connected texting to them so they could relate to my paper. Also the subject of my paper would be something that they could learn

In Bad Ideas about Writing, Ronald Clark Brooks writes that everyone can be a writer because he believes that everyone’s experiences and perspectives are worth writing about.
