select chapters from J.M. Bohannon’s I Hate Writing, Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts”, Stephen King’s On Writing, and my practice with rhetorical analysis. Each of these assignments have significantly impacted me and caused me to view my own writing differently. They have helped me grow as a writer as well as come closer to finding my own writer’s “voice”. I have really enjoyed and learned from the chapters that I have read so far in I Hate Writing. My favorite chapter is chapter seven because

this course I have been assigned multiple writing assignments that have challenged my writing skills. I have found that as a writer, few of the strengths that I have are providing good supporting ideas of a paper and formatting of a paper. I have a keen knowledge of what each topic of a paper is about and how to support the points that I have chosen to write about.

world. One of the major writing-related knowledge I have developed through this course is my approach to writing, more specifically how I design the text. Prior to the course, if I was given a writing assignment, I simply organized the information based on how I perceived it would be best organized rather than how it would be perceived by the reader.

Grammar TEKS (8.19-8.21) will be addressed and taught in context of the writing process, as is currently happening

Upon analyzing trends of the open-ended AP Literature prompts, it is evident that the test changed in functionality over time. The earliest of all exams had two responses in which a student could choose whichever he or she felt most comfortable with, but that trend was short-lived. The College Board also constructed prompts that compared two different works, and required a more plot-based response, as opposed to how the work contributed to society or what the author’s intended purpose of creating
