Elizabeth Wardle's essay "You Can Learn to Write in General" challenges traditional approaches to teaching writing in school. She argues that teaching writing as a set of rules or formats does not prepare students to write effectively in real-world situations. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of teaching students to become critical thinkers who are able to navigate the social and cultural contexts in which writing occurs. She also advocates for a more student-centered approach to teaching writing, encouraging students to engage in writing that is meaningful to them and allowing them to choose their own topics and genres. Wardle's essay argues for a more flexible and adaptable approach to teaching writing in academia, shifting our focus

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. He expresses his belief that a good writer is not necessarily defined by their credentials or publishings. However, he acknowledges that there is a sort of stigma around writing that may discourage novice writers and offend veteran writers. In Brooks’ essay, he attempts to take an empowering and supportive approach in explaining how anyone can be a writer. He also says that even in writing classes, where there may be more structure and rules to follow for writing, optimism and a positive outlook make all the difference.

Born in Johnstown, New York, Richard Russo's first interest-which was writing fiction-was sparked at a very young age, this interest carried with him throughout his youth and in 1980 Russo received his PhD in American Literature at the University of Arizona. At first Russo wanted to specialize in writing academic nonfiction, but decided shortly after working on his dissertation that he was more interested in writing fiction.

Introduction: “Perspective gives us the ability to accurately contrast the large with the small, and the important with the less important. Without it we are lost in a world where all ideas, news, and information look the same. We cannot differentiate, we cannot prioritize, and we cannot make good choices…” This is a quote recited by John Sununu. In books, we must be able to compare and contrast the difference between one sequence from the other; from one context to the next.
In this short passage by William Zinsser, Zinsser used compare and contrast to inform the readers about his personal opinions of being a writer. Due to different understandings and opinions on how to be a good writer, Zinsser decided to use compare and contrast in order to present a clean and detailed differences to the reader about how different people’s writing style can vary. By doing this, it would be extremely helpful for the readers to distinguish the differences of each writing style, see the benefits and disadvantages, and ultimately gather enough information to decide which style fits them the best. At the panel with Dr. Brock, Zinsser gave the audience a broader view of different writing styles and how they contribute differently.
