To delve deep into its meaning, kindly read the

slide class.

Non-academic texts are informal, emotional,

and subjective, appealing to a lay audience
without requiring research. This accessibility
allows anyone to write them, fostering diverse
perspectives. However, students should still
practice critical thinking to assess bias and
credibility in such writing.

D. Valuing

We are done with our topic for this session and

we may now go back with our quotation.

"Academic and non-academic writing carry

ideas through the river of human thought."
 Recognizing the different audiences
Any idea about this quote and anyone who of academic and non-academic
wants to share in the class? writing enhances communication
skills, enabling students to tailor
their writing to specific contexts
effectively.
 Appreciating the diversity of writing
styles fosters a deeper
understanding of how different
forms contribute to the exchange of
ideas in society.
 Analyzing the characteristics of
academic and non-academic writing
cultivates critical thinking skills,
empowering students to navigate
 various writing contexts with
confidence.

Your insights beautifully capture the essence of

academic and non-academic writing. They both
contribute to the flow of human thought, with
academic writing focusing on specialized
knowledge and non-academic writing bridging
diverse perspectives. Your understanding of
their distinct roles in shaping discourse is
commendable. Great job!
