Metacognitive Analysis:

I think something that teachers forget to do when giving students a writing assignment is to think of a  purpose. The structure, style and other formal aspects of a genre are taught to the students, and later they are encouraged to produce something. Sometimes, students are faced with a ''purposeless'' assignment, where they may write just to pass a subject, not because they wish to express something, to research something. It is easier and more enjoyable to write about something you are really interested in, and more meaningful!
