What's I got to do with it By Amy Hodges Hamilton


This article stuck out to me the most because I felt like I related to it more than the others. Personal literacies can be used in your writing. She felt unsure of how to use her personal life into her writing.  When you write about your own experiences you learn more about yourself and become a better writer through that. Writing can be an emotional experience and understanding yourself better can help you be more successful in your writing.  Your personal experiences lead to something bigger than you might realize. By thinking of the first times you were writing and reading bring to recollection your earliest memories of the art of language. I can remember reading young children’s books in preschool and learning cursive in second grade. By remembering those things I can grow as a writer in personal literacies.
