Literacy Narrative

 
“Your purpose is to write a personal narrative focused on one significant episode from your life as a reader, writer and/ or learner. This essay combines an expressive aim with a reflective aim, as you will also reflect on this episode and its significance to you. What points does your story make about reading, writing, language or learning that go beyond your own experience?  What do you want the reader to take away, to relate to, to be inspired by? Without the reflection, your literacy narrative will not be complete. Your audience is the community of readers and writers in this class, at this campus, in this community. It includes me and your classmates but isn’t confined to us, if you want it to have a broader appeal. This would be a good piece to submit to the college literary magazine, for instance.”
