Some of us have negative early experiences with reading and writing, ones that have affected the various ways we feel about reading and writing as adults. For others, reading and writing are treasured skills that come 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 \u2013 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 definitions of literacy \u2013 of reading and writing \u2013 that could benefit from a thoughtful and honest close self-examination.<\/p>\n<p><b>Topic Choices<\/b>\u00a0Please draw from the following topics as you develop your essay focus. Also note that<b>\u00a0<i><\/i><\/b>not all of the suggested topics are focused on traditional literacy instruction and learning (see the last two). If you have other ideas, please let me know. We can always add to this list.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Narrate an early memory about writing or reading that you recall vividly. Then explain why this event is significant to you now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Describe someone who taught you to read or write and explain this person\u2019s significance in your life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Identify a book or other text and explain its significance for you in your reading and writing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Narrate an experience with a writing or reading task that you found (or still find) difficult or challenging.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Describe a memento\/artifact and explain how it represents an important moment in your reading\/writing development.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Recall a time when you learned a profound lesson or experienced an epiphany. That lesson does not necessarily have to have happened within a traditional classroom; however, it must be tied to \u201creading\u201d situations, people, events, etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Consider a specific talent you possess or special task\/activity at which you are adept. Those specializations have their own jargon and terminology and learning them requires a highly-specialized type of literacy. Focus your essay on how you learned how to create\/perform that talent or task.<\/p>\n<p><b>Key Features \/ Literacy Narrative<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<b>A Well-Told Story<\/b>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<b>Narrative\u2019s Significance<\/b>. Make clear why the incident you narrate matters to you now by explaining its significance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<b>Well-organized<\/b>. Whatever strategy you use (narrative, descriptive, etc.), make sure that your organization (beginning, middle, and end) is effective, engaging, and clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<b>Thesis Statement<\/b>: State the main idea of your essay somewhere in your introduction in a thesis statement (implied or direct). Then make certain that every supporting paragraph relates to and supports that main idea. Suggestion: Go back and revisit the vignettes and impressions you have written about thus far. You will need to get the moment right and clear in your own mind. You cannot really start in the pre-planning stages with this. Start with the impressions and vignettes and make sense of that first. Find the big idea(s). See sample literacy narratives provided below.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022 Use concrete, vivid descriptions and focus on a specific event.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Consider using dialogue between the characters in your narrative.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Write 1,500-3,000 words (about 3-5 full pages, typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font, Times New Roman or other conservative font, free of grammatical and usage errors; MLA format).<\/p>\n<p><b>Sample Literacy Narratives<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cA Way with Words\u201d by Sasha Steinberg &amp; \u201cCultural Literacy over Chicken Salad\u201d by Christina Collins http:\/\/www.english.msstate.edu\/comp\/compmaterials\/2011_Literacy_Narrative.pdf<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cFollowing the Rules\u201d by Elizabeth Jones http:\/\/blogs.uis.edu\/multicomp101\/files\/2013\/11\/Jones-Literacy-Narrative-Rules-compressed.pdf<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cJesus Shaves\u201d by David Sedaris (audio from \u201cThis American Life\u201d) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N5apZmwR9UI<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cThanks, Ms. T: Learning How to Speak the Language\u201d by J.
