9. Personal Literacy short narrative
This is a narrative essay, so please tell me a story. Start with your earliest memories of learning to read and write, and work your way up to where you are now. Here are some questions to consider while you are writing:
Where are you from? Does this have an impact on how you learned to read/write/speak English?
Did you grow up in a print-rich environment? Did the people in your household read a variety of materials? Who read to you, and how often?
Who were the literacy sponsors in your life – that is, which people most impacted your literacy development (either negatively or positively) throughout your life?
What do you like to read? I will not accept the statement, “I don’t like to read.” Everyone reads something – whether it’s Aristotle, Led Zeppelin lyrics, or Facebook chats – we all spend a significant portion of our lives absorbing the texts that surround us.

11. How is a narrative different than an essay?
It tells a STORY
It should include VIVID, descriptive details
It doesn’t have to be traditional five paragraphs
this doesn’t mean it isn’t organized!
Your memories and details should still be connected somehow & flow from one to the next
It is told from your perspective; some first-person is okay
Characters should be developed & interesting!
You will not have a traditional “thesis” statement, but there should be some sort of overarching theme. What have you learned about yourself in reflecting on your literacy history?
