This really stands out to me because many times the research paper is really for the teacher to read and grade but it would be great for other people to read your paper and give feedback or even learn from it. This would give the writer something to look forward too and really make them engage. This allows you to learn from their feedback and even learn about more ideas that you could have incorporated into your writing.

This is very helpful as it can give you an even clearer analysis of the meaning of the text when you know who it was meant for and the effects it has on the audience. You can then understand better the purpose of the text and it allows you to think broader and expand your knowledge. I agree this is something writing teachers should do.

I agree with this because too many times I have been asked to do an assignment or skill without knowing or being taught how. It is stressful and nerve racking because it feels like they already expect you to know what you are doing if they ask you without teaching. Sometimes teachers may assume we have learned things when really we may have not, especially when not all teachers teach the same and students may come from different classes.
