Any topic (writer’s choice)

Your post will be the first draft of your Literacy Narrative. You have been reading literacy narratives (Rodriguez, hooks) and reading about literacy narratives (Soliday). Now, it’s your turn to write a literacy narrative. Choose a specific literacy event that shaped you in some way. It might not have taught you something about reading and writing; it could have taught you something else about people, life, and relationships. But, the event must be about reading and writing. Maybe you remember a specific book that was influential to you. Maybe you remember writing something that changed your thinking or being in some way.
In your narrative, be specific about the details and the context of the event–who was there, where was it, how old were you. You must also relate the event, though, to the other literacy narratives you read and Mary Soliday’s ideas about what literacy narratives do and how they work.
Aim for 3-4 pages for this first draft. Make sure you cite the quotes and paraphrases that you use in APA style.
