Academic writing I believe is any sort of writing where you as the writer take a point or argue about something, it could also be any writing that really has to do with your education or has to do with school. Academic writing is most likely in a certain essay form. It isn’t something that has many bullets or an outline that you do on some information. Academic writing is something you go over many times to make sure it is in proper form and makes sense, not just a sloppy rough draft that you type up for the first time. The purpose for academic writing is to persuade or explain a point you are taking to your audience. What I think academic writing does is inform the audience your point and provide them with more knowledge about this subject.
An academic paper I have written before is a paper where I had to take a point in a controversial issue. I did my paper on abortion and how it should be kept legal. Steps I did to complete this piece of writing were that I first had to look up a bunch of information on the subject. In order to be successful in proving your point you must first be knowledgeable about the subject and have a clean idea of what it is. I then gathered this information and dug up the main information and wrote it down. Another important part of my research was to look up the main reasons again what I was writing. This way I could look up information to counter again these points. Having strong counter points I believe makes a great argument in your paper and really gets the audience to go against a lot of their beliefs. Finding great sources was a key point also. Without good sources the validity of your paper is questioned.

Your last sentence and ours was different. We talked about how the internet causes problems for the mind to not be capable of quiet study

Representing first place; group #1
The most similar line was the second sentance, which explained the psychological affect of the information that can be accessed online.

Because of this all having come from the same piece, it seems that the content of group 1 is very similar to group 5. Yet I still notice slight differences. The overall meanings are the same but I thought that it was nice to see all the ways of interpreting some of the same ideas when they all came from one article. I really liked how visual learning was said to "sacrifice independent study." That was a really interesting way to phrase what came from Bauerlein's text.

Due to how everyone was paraphrasing the same part of the text, the paraphrase from group 1 was very similar to group 7. The main difference I noticed was how the wording was different, due to how individuals have different thought processes, but the content and meaning of the paraphrase was mostly the same.

Chris Armstrong Group 1
This group used wording that was a little bit more specific and harder to understand, but in doing so, they have kept a lot of the original meaning of what Bauerlein was trying to say.

Our groups pretty much had the same ideas, just different words.
We both focused on interpreting it in different ways but in the end, they're both really about the same thing.
Which, it's supposed to be right? This group didn't use a whole lot of quotes, we used more, and this group did interpret more of Bauerlein's actual words.

Juli Hladik, Group 4
One overall content difference between group one and group four was I felt that there group's paraphrase included content that was easier to understand. They used simpler words to relay the same ideas, making it easier for anyone to understand. Although I feel this simplicity of language may have caused the content to lose some of its potency, or deeper meaning.
A similarity that is quite apparent is the overall idea. Every sentence means the same thing and it is just written in a different manner.

Group 3- Malia Hacker
The main point of this Paragraph was very similar to ours, even some of the quotes and word choice used was used in our paragraph as well. The difference in the two paragraphs is that this paragrpah is a little bit more direct and right to the point while ours is more of explaining. Also, the wording in the two paragraphs differ.
