Writing as vehicle of change For these students, "Good writing changes something. It doesn't just sit on the page. It gets up, walks off the page and changes something," whether it's a website or a poster for a walkathon. More than earlier generations, said Lunsford, "Young people today are aware of the precarious nature of our lives. They understand the dangers that await us." Hence, "Writing is a way to get a sense of power."

We've nabbed this study before, but it is rendered here in new ways with new implications, still noting the difference between writing "in school" and writing, more useful for students, "in the real world."
