One thing I have struggled with is getting out of the mindset of writing genre all of the time. This article really resonated with me as it reinforces what I see with my target students. When writing for an authentic purpose there is less fight, frustration, and feeling of why do we need to. They buy into it and if anything need some holding back to make sure they are on the right track before rushing.
It has hit home that the skills for writing are transferable across genres and it is more a change in language features that are used to to make sure the writing is effective for the purpose at hand.
