Assignment: (Please scroll down to read)
In the literacy narrative, your goal is to reflect on the role that reading and writing have played in your life. In other words, you will write a story about yourself as a literate person. At one time, you could neither read nor write, and now, many years later, you are taking a composition class at a university. So, how did you get here? What people, events and literature shaped you as a writer? What does writing (or books, or language) mean to you?
Explore the part of your identity that is immersed in language through first person narrative. Your essay will include the elements of narrative, including characters, plot, setting, and theme, as well as vivid details and dialogue.
Examine your experiences and pick out several memories that helped to shape the kind of reader and writer you are today. Consider both the negative and the positive experiences you’ve had with literacy. This means you will expose conflict and tension. Embarrassing moments can be just as interesting to your audience as academic triumphs. Consider your audience in choosing the experiences and details you share. For this assignment, your audience is high school students who are considering whether to go to college or go to work.
Objectives:
To use narrative for a specific purpose (e.g. argue a point, provide an example, communicate an emotion)
To tell a clear, cohesive story with a beginning, middle and end
To practice rhetorical sensitivity, bearing in mind your tone, audience, and purpose – To connect positive and negative events from the past to your current feelings about reading and writing
To practice a writing process, including invention, drafting and revision
Suggested Techniques:
Tell a story by depicting connected events over time
Include tension or conflict
Use concrete details to evoke image and emotion
Use figurative language to help the reader share your experience
Show—through resolution, recognition, or retrospective interpretation—what the events mean to you
Convey an appealing voice appropriate to your subject matter
