You use writing literally 24/7 because i think that you don't need to physically write something for it to be considered writing. I think that writing is having an idea like for instance just thinking of an idea and using it. Scientists are an example because they think of an idea and they make an expieriment out of it and all of the information collected that is either WRITTEN down or mentally written down it is useful information. I write when i get assignments, I write when my parents give me a chore, andi even write when i learn something new. My writing is diferent though my writing is like, I have a pen and paper in my head and whatever i want to write down i write it down in my head people call it a mental note but i call it a list of endless possibilites.
I write alot. I hand write letters to cousins, I type posts on facebook, I write for hours at school then I go home and write for homework my homework, I keep a jurnal that I write in almost every day, I write short storys to entertain my self, I write descriptions or directions sometimes when I am having a family member watch a pet or plant while i am away... i write almost all day long. Among many other reasons, if one would need to communicate with someone far away they'd need to know how to write or type to send letters or emails because it is alot cheaper then long distence calling. It is important to learn to write because it is a big form of comunication, talking can only get a person so far in comunication. Teachers need to write daily plans and write to grade papers, doctors need to give written instructions to nurses, in every job the people are required to write.

I use writing in many ways. I use handwrite my notes for classes, my homework in my agenda and on worksheets. I text my friends to make plans and talk. I type essays for school and emails. I make small corrections or comments on my piano music to help me learn it.I also write on my calendar to keep track of events.
I write all the time. I write down the assignments we get in class. I write notes to my friends. I type on facebook. I type the essays that are assigned. I write notes on the things that we learn in class. I write down lists so I remember what I need to do. I write notes to my mom to remind about something.

-emily p. from first period :)
People use writing in many ways. I use writing when i take notes for classes. I write using numbers in math. I type essays and blogs. I write small comments on my sax music when i need to change or to make sure i notice something. I also write when i get anassingment and i put it in my agenda.
I write in many ways in a day. I write with shorten words with text. I also use longer and more wide vocabulary when I writeing to releitives. When people call I only write some of the important things they said. I also write what I am gonna do for the day so I can stay organized.
From the age of five, I should think, writing is progressively used, and added to as one grows older.
When feeling thoughtful while applying eyeliner, I'll scribble a love-note to my mommy or someone else on the mirror I am in front of- or simply scrawl a cheesy slogan through the mist on the bathroom mirror after my morning shower. In my Brunswick High School agenda, I'll record assignments, both completed and needed. When at home, I will either compose a letter to a close-friend or communicate on myspace, facebook, e-mail, etc.. Some sort of social-communication. In almost every class, spare gym, study-halls, and lunch, I am at work with the pencil, collecting notes, organizing an essay, writing a reminder, or recording a math tip. I also use writing when I read my novels; remarking as needed, and exclaiming a final conclusion.
Writing has a set of official genres- but when not in language, and when using writing in everyday life, there is two ultimate genres, in my opinion: the professional writing genre, and not so professional writing genre. The professional is used in school work, while the other is used at home, so on so forth.
-Marissa Pappas, 3rd Pd.
I write a lot in one day. I crazily write the notes in my classes to get them all down. As of now, I'm writing this message at my keyboard thinking of what to say. For homework I'm writing a confusing way, the spanish language. I scribble messages only readable by me on my hand if I have something really important to remember. I also make lists, whether for what gifts I want for my birthday, or supplies I need at the store, or pros and cons of decisons I'm making.
I write in many ways every single day. I write when I do my homework, or even take notes in class. I also write down when I need to make a note for myself or someone else. Most importantly though, I write in my agenda everyday to remind myself what I need to do. Writing is an important part of my day and I would be impossible to live without it.
Jennifer Sens
I use writing in many different ways everyday. 1. I write or type essays and reports. 2. I take notes in class or whenever else I need to. 3. I text people using a cell phone. 4. I email family and friends. 5. I write notes to my friends. When I actually think about it, I write in different styles and fonts everyday and I don't even notice it! It was easy to think of five different ways I use writing.
-Erica Jacks
The Ways I Write
1. I write when I do my homework. It could be a worksheet, a rough draft of an essay, or flashcards.
2. I email at least one person a day. So I write emails.
3. I write lists: things I need to do, things I need, things I want for my birthday or christmas, a song I want to buy off iTunes, etc.
4. I write down things for my mom, such as phone numbers, email addresses, grocery lists, etc.
5. I also write down things when I study such as definitions or facts. I also take notes at school.
Genres?
The genres I use are responses, poems, letters, essays, narratives, and stories. It depends on what I am writing and what it is for. We get all types of assignments in Language Arts, which is where most of my genres come from. If I am taking a test, I may have to write an essay. Otherwise it is a regular paragraph or sentences. Or I may write a poem or story if I feel created. Also if my friend emails me and wants me to send them a poem, then I will write or re-type a poem. Or I may write a friendly letter or business letter/ email.
I know when to change the genre because I know which genre goes with which topic or type of writing, especially if it is a school assignment.
I write from the time class starts to the time it ends when we take notes from the overhead in health. I also text my friends after school and before school. I update my status on myspace, and edit my profile. I write answers to questions on my homework for my classes. Another way i write is when i have to leave notes for my mom when she is sleeping for work and i have to go somewhere after school. I also write when i write out problems for math on the chalkboard when we go over homework.
Throughout my day, I write a lot. I do worksheets and homework which require breif and formal writing, and I also write in my agenda lists of homework or events going on daily. I handwrite the lists. I type essays for school which are longer and carefully looked through. I correct my reports, and proof-read my work. I also, leave notes for my parents to tell them where I am going. Finally, I write reminders to myself, and I write cards to friends. I know when to change styles of writing based on who is reading it, if it is for me or someone else, and if it is important or for a grade.
Every day we go through constant forms of writing such as typing and blogging which is what we're doing right now. This is only one type of writing which I do almost every day. I would text to anybody, to know what's going on in the world. Who doesn't write notes? We got school notes, we got pass around notes. How much is that, 3 genres? Okay, I also write whatever pops into my head, my visions, if you'd like to call them, in a book. Last but not least I make up new music and present them to my band in the old country for us to play in concerts. There are many forms of writing; these are just my most common.
There are many ways that I write during the day. I write down my assignments in my agenda, and write notes to my friends. I also use writing by typing on the blog, typing reports that are due, and I also type on facebook. Another way I write during the day is texting my friends. There are many ways to write but those are the ones I use most often.
-A. Stertzbach-
i do alot of writing throughout my day. I write all my notes in school,write in my agenda. I texts my friends to talk and make plans. I type essays for school. I write lists of reminders for myself everyday. I even write on my hand to remember things through out the day. Also i write journals
Writting is used daily in my life. One way is to comment and message people on myspace.I write the assignments in my agenda everyday.
I also write long page notes to my friends all the time.I write when i have homework over a subject.I also write down the names of songs so i will remember to download them later.
I text my friends. I type my homework on microsoft word. I write my homework down in my agenda. I write down how much money my parents owe me when I do chores. Also I type my mood on myspace.
I write in several ways during the day. One of them literal writing, such as answering a problem. Another is writing as in an essay. Everyday when I get home, I play guitar, so I write music with that. I can write things such as statuses(?) to express my feeings or thoughts. Lastly, I can write via the computer, sharing things through this blog or something similar.
Five ways i write every day is:
-in complete sentences for your class;
-making a list, say for groceries or just listing thing for a class;
-writing math problems;
-writing down assignments for classes;
- or maybe making an observation for science.

But when your writing for school you you normally have a spasific format you have to follow. Thats why i love just writing even if sometimes its just my random thought because then you can write anything you want and you can let your mind wonder.
Renae Trundy
I use writing every day. In school I write all of my assignments by hand. When school is over I text my friends. I also type out emails and essays on the computer. I also write just for fun.I also write out my music lesson schedule for the week.
i write when i am texting. also when i write or type essays for school. i write when i make natoes to my friends. i also write when im putting assignments in my agenda. last, i write when i am doing work in school every day.
I use writing a lot in my daily life. I take notes for class, I write all during school like for tests, worksheets, even my name, I write for my homework, I type essays, I write notes to my friends, I text my friends, I write down in my agenda my events or practices, I write to-do lists. There are so many ways we use writing.

I write when i put my name on my papers,list down chores,solving math problems,sending letters to people and when taking tests.
Shane Hruby
I used to write constantly, nonstop but recent events have changed that. Plus, between band and school I have no free time to write unless it's for homework, and I barely get that done. I write down answers in german, definitions and equations in geometry. I write down thoughts and ideas I have throughout the day on a scrap piece of paper, but usually lose it. When I get home I sometimes write in a journal, or songs or poetry. Even though I don't consider texting writing I do much of that. I do school/homework, I write down recipes for new foods to try and make, I make a list for just about everything. I don't get much of a chance to email or anything, and I don't consider that writing anyway. I think that people need to write more, because with all the new technology it is becoming a lost art.
there are many different ways that you use writing every day 5 ways are 1.whenever i text my friends 2.whenever i take notes in class 3.whenever i write out my homework, or even just numbers in math 4. whenever i write notes to my friends, or ask my mom to pick up something at the store and 5. just yesterday i wrote out a birthday card to one of my closest friends(:
I change my styles of writing throughout the day. I record notes that teachers give us. I write answers to homework. Just today, I decided to do my homework in capital letters. I write in Latin for Latin Class. I text shortened forms of words to my friends. I type out full sentences on my computer to get this blog done, too.
~VINH TRINH
I use writing every day. I use it to text, which is not really a style. If anything it's slang. i use writing in LANGUAGE ARTS. In that wonderful, terrific, fun class we usually write essays and responses. In spanish I use writing to describe things. In History I write essays mostly. In Science I usually list things when I write. I also write short paragraphs to explain things. And lastly, in Math I use a listing style of writing. I use writing in tons of other ways too but those are the styles that I use on a daily basis.
i write in many ways. someways are that i write notes in class and to my friends. also i text (when my phone isnt dead;D). when i go on facebook i am always typing away messages to my cousins, friends, and my brother and sister who are at college.
During the day, I write notes for classes, fill out worksheets, text a lot, emails, and I write letters Denis, a child in el salvador who my church youth group adopted.

2.I write in eqautions in math
3.i txt my friends all the time.

I write in many different ways. The most common ways I write is by taking notes in class, writing notes to friends, leaving notes for my parents or myself as a reminder, writing events on my calendar so I know what's going on, or just writing different things on myspace. I know when to change the way I'm writing because if it's a note to a friend I can write without using puctuation correctly and things like that but when I'm writing an assignment or essay I know to capatalize the write words, use punctuation, indent paragraphs, and spell correctly. I write in a narrative form when I'm writing a stroy, free writing when I'm writing notes or letters to people, non fiction when I do current event reports for spanish, and also fiction when I'm writing essays.
C Sims
Some ways I write are when I'm writing essays or journals in language arts class, texing my friends all the time, typing essays on the computer, writing notes to friends, and writing down math problems in geometry is another form of writing I do.
five ways i write are 1 Email, i dont email all that much any more but i still do accasionally. 2 texting, i text A LOT! about 4 hours of the day im texting. 3 writing reports, i write reports a lot now that i am in high school. 4 messaging on facebook, i do this while i am playing games online. 5 homework, i have a bunch of homework in high school about 10 times more than middle school. those are 5 ways i write.

i write a lot in a day. Responding to this blog is writing, by typing. I text my friends a lot. I also hand write notes and fill out work sheets in class. I write for home work.
Writing is something you use every day in life. I use writing when i do essays, notes, texting, and on myspace, and journals. In language arts and in school period, we write all the time. To me writing is just an essential thing. I write notes to my friends and to myself. I do this almost everyday but not as often as in school. When I text its considered writing and when I talk to people on myspace thats writing too, which is what I enjoy doing a lot outside of school. Also in LA we do journals which is also another way of writing. Writing is an everyday thing for me.
i use writing with my music all the time, not necessarily writing down compositions, but just basically playing scales in a certain rythm or coming up with a way to perfect your embouchure. really anything in music is literature, which leaves fifty percent of it as writing. writing can also be just coming about a new idea, like a creation. isn't that what writing is? i don't know how women and slaves used to live without writing, i know i couldn't.
I use writing a lot in a day.
1)notes for school work
2)homework
3)notes to my friends
4)reminders on post it notes
5)i text a lot & myspace & facebook.
I love to keep in touch with people.From my vacation I go on every year throughout the time I don't see the people we keep in touch by texting and myspace.
I actually write all the time. I do it just when I'm bored,not a note to someone,not a journal, just random things on my mind. It seems lame, but I think it's pretty fun.
I use righting all the time. When I'm in school, writing a note to my friends , on facebook, and reports for school.
I write a lot in one day, whether it be frantically trying to get notes done at school, or writing things down for homework. I also write on this blog and texting. I also write things down that I find somwhere that I think may be important sooner or later on scrap notcards or paper

-Sica Peres 6-7 period
I use writing in a day by texting, aim, letters, e-mail, school and homework. I use different styles, at school I write "proper" and write out every word in e-mails, text and aim I do not, I use a lot of abbreviations.
i use writing throughout the whole day, wheather it is taking notes, catching up with my friends by texting. Everybody says you cant go anywhere without math. But if u think about it, if there was no writing. There is no math. If u really think about it without writing we wouldent be able to understand or learn anything. Also writing brings out the creativity in all of this. without writing i think wveryone will be lost.
1)I make corrections on my math homework. 2)I write foot notes in my rough drafts. 3) I like to text a lot to. 4)I type my essays for school. 5)I write imprtant dates on the calender everyday.
i use a form of writing almost everry momnent of the day. one of the most obvious oneis writing the answer to a problem in skool. another big one that teenages love to use is texting. i found this as one of the most popular forms of writing. also there is typing on the computer.one form we use but dont notice is drawing. a picture is worth a thousand words. and last but not least there is writing down your daily grocery list and updating it
i write alot cause i txt and i write notes to my friends i also have to do homework and blog so there is alot of writing during my day including writing short stories whenever i have free time.
Danielle 4/5
I use writing so much in my daily life. I text my friends. I also type on the computer. I take notes in class and I usually write my homework. I also write when I just feel like writing something.
I couldn't live without being able to write. It gives me the opportunity to create my own world on the paper giving me the ability to show myself what I really think about and if it makes any sense. As for others, without writing we would know absolutely nothing. Humans without writing is comparable to a sponge without the ability to absorb water. Think about the consequences of writing. We know about our past. We can update and correct things that are debatable with history. Present day we use this to keep track of our thoughts and to be graded in class. Without writing we would be lost. Writing is necessary for existence and for peace of mind. We would be lost without it.
I write all the time, i could'nt live without writting. Some ways i use writting is, when i update my myspace, do homework, taking notes,writting essays,write some lists of things i need to do,or making a grocery list. Writting is used for many different things in life and their many different ways i write too.
Ok...so I write alot every day. Between homework and free time, writing is a fundamental part of my everyday life.
I begin my day by, usually, writing what I want to do that day on a notepad. Then, I almost always write at school.
After school is out, I write when doing my homework. Next, I usually go on the computer and jot down little bits
and peices of information that I think will end up being useful. Finally, when I am on the computer, I use writing
when I am searching for something on Google, typing a word document, or, as today, posintg in a blog.
-A. Muir
I write a lot in my everyday life. For example at school I'm always taking notes, like in math, latin, or history. At school I also do a lot of typing, which is another form a writing. Throughout the day I write down my homework in my agenda. When I come home from school, I do my homework, which includes a lot of writing. Also, I text when I come home.
I write a lot in my life. I text my friends. I email my friends and family. I update my status on myspace and facebook. I write assignments in school and for homework. I write essays for school. I write in my agenda. I write grocery lists.
1. I write for hours eery day in school 2. I write or type when I do home work such as this assignment 3. I write e-mails to friends and family to keep in touch 4. I sometimes just sit down and start writing stories or poems, just whateer comes out. i usually just throw these away when I am done writing 5. If I'm bored, i will go outside and write my name and sometimes my ocabulary words in the dirt. It gives me something to do and it is a distraction from my life.
I use writing everyday. Some of the types of writing I use are face book, aim, school work, letters to a old friends who moved. I also text 24/7 so I'm writing in those messages, and I use my agenda to keep track of homework and all projects.
-allison thomas 6/7•
I use writing when I'm texting, doing school work, writing notes to my friends, doodling on notes, and updating my Twitter. :D
I try to write only when necessary. When i text I usually try to make things short and to the point considering I have a limited number of characters I can use. When writing notes in class I try to get as much information down as possible, meaning I have to change my handwriting in order to make everything fit. When writing an essay or working on school papers, I choose my words carefully and try to elongate my sentences. I write down my homework assignments in nice, short lists in my agenda. Also, I update my myspace status constantly.
-Carly Fleck
People usually do some kind of writing everyday. im texting almost 24/7 i write my friends notes in school. i talk to my friends on myspace. i take tests in school, and essays when it comes to language arts. i leave little noted for myself around my room, so i dont forget certain things. i write my homework assignments down in my agenda. and taking notes in all subjects.
-marissa.
I write all the time. I write down my homework in my agenda every day at school. I copy down notes in my classes, along with doing worksheets and homework. I e-mail people, and I message, comment, and post stuff when I'm on myspace. I write all the time in language arts class. And I also write stuff down that I need to get done, so that I'll remember to do them.
Kelly C. 4-5th Period
I never really realized how much I write. I text all day, but that's not proper grammer or anything; it's just quick and easy. I post on my myspace, and facebook pages. Before my mom goes to the grocery store, and I want something special to eat I add what I want to her extravagantly long list. During school I take so many notes it's unbelievable, especially in history. I also write when I read. Just this year I started, and it has been helpful. Constantly I am at work on paper. I've never noticed how much I write.
