Reading

In class:
- Purple Hibiscus
- Macbeth

Out of Class:
- I am Number Four
- The Power of Six

Evidence:
- Reading logs
- Macbeth participation "logs"
- PH assignments

I don't really think I've grown as a reader in any ways other than interpreting poetry. This is due to the only challenging book I've read, in or out of class, has been Macbeth. Even though I haven't finished it, the book has caused me to continuously ask questions in class to just get an idea of what's going on in a passage. But I have realized that I how been asking fewer and fewer questions because I can interpret some texts on my own. This is how I have progressed as a reader this year.

My Strengths as a Writer

After reading the instructions for this assignment, I immediately thought of voice/tone as a strength of mine. I feel like when I read my own writing it sounds like me, not just some random writer. I have been reading my blog posts and noticed this. I even got my friends to read a couple of my blog posts and they agreed that they all showed tone and voice. Another strength of mine is audience. I think that I can change my writing styles depending on who my audience or target audience is. A splendid example of this is my research project. I read the comments on my paper and saw that I did well with audience. My final strength is staying with my genre. I think this is probably everyone's strength because it's just staying on topic.

My Weaknesses as a Writer

For my weaknesses, I'd have to start with citations. I have always hated doing citations because I just don't think that they only need to be written down once at the end of a paper. And with all these in-text citations being introduced this year, I have found myself annoyed because I don't know why I need to repeatedly cite the same sources repeatedly. This is evident in my research paper. I could have easily gotten an A on the paper if I had paid more attention to my citations. My other weakness is finding a good topic. This is a bit specific, but there have been multiple situations where I've had to change my writing topic after starting my rough draft because I have trouble finding solid topics I can write papers on. A great example of this is my poetry writing assignment. I had completed my rough draft, printed it out, and read it. But after I read it, I realized that the poem was weak, so I had to change my topic when I was almost finished with the assignment...
