You have read writing by Malcolm X and heard the story of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in which they present their literacy experiences and what it was like to be a reader and writer. In this assignment, you have an opportunity to reflect about your experience as a writer. You will write a literacy narrative in which you describe an important moment in your writing life and reflect on how this moment changed you as a writer. As you begin this essay writing process, reflect on your experiences and attitudes about writing. Some of us have negative early experiences with writing that have affected the ways we feel about writing as adults. For others of us, writing is a treasured skill that comes out of a childhood fascination with language and self-expression. Some of us have experienced the strangeness of language in a foreign country, while others have sat in a writing classroom and felt it little different from a foreign country–a place unfamiliar and remote. Regardless of our backgrounds, our ideas of literacy often become deeply ingrained as good or bad without much thought from us as to how those views came to be. As a result, many of us have feelings about writing that could benefit from a thoughtful and honest close self‐examination. Narrate an early memory about writing that you recall vividly. Then explain why this event is significant to you now. Describe someone who taught you to write and explain this person’s significance in your life Narrate an experience with a writing task that you found (or still find) difficult or challenging. Key Features / Literacy Narrative Bring your narrative to life by using concrete and vivid details. Details can bring a narrative to life for readers by giving them vivid mental images of the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures of the world in which your story takes place. Make clear why the incident you narrate matters to you now by explaining its significance. Make sure that your organization (beginning, development, and conclusion) is effective, engaging, and clear.
