The improvement made between Katie's first draft of her first paper and her final draft was impressive. In her about me page, she said she was worried about the style of writing in this class, but she caught on quick. I saw a very big improvement between the structure of her first draft of paper 2 and the final product as well. Katie has a very matter-of-fact, dissenting tone which I like quite a bit, being a cynical writer myself.
The best piece of Katie's, in my opinion, was her memoir. I was especially moved by her story of how Catcher in the Rye inspired her to begin writing seriously, and how it shaped her journaling from events to deeper thoughts. I read Catcher in the Rye my junior year of high school as well-as I remember I ditched school to read it because I was pissed off about something...
Katie's writing really pulls the reader in, at least for me, but again I'm all about cynicism. I saw her writing go from hesitant to confident in reading her blog. I hope that this course contributes to her writing skills, no matter what discourse or medium they are utilized.
