7.7: Chapter Summary

Writing within a time limit can be stressful. Practicing is key, as is developing effective strategies for completing the steps of your writing process under pressure. We have practiced timed writing throughout the semester to give you opportunities to hone your skills and to build your confidence for the final exam. In addition to demonstrating your timed writing skills, the final summary-response essay will show the English 160 Committee your ability to read carefully, think critically, and organize and develop your ideas effectively, skills that you will continue to utilize in English 160.
