Literacy Writing Class Reflection
Through taking taking this course. I believed to have gained some valuable insight into how I think, and as to how exactly and clearly I write down my thoughts. Although I wouldn’t say that I gained much insight into exactly how I thin, however I did gain valuable insight into how exactly I put my thoughts into words. By taking this class, I have learned to transcribes my thoughts into words for a reader to see, allowing me to share my ideas with fellow peers rather than keeping my thoughts to myself and failing to share unique ideas. Although this process was relativity short, spanning only about 3-4 months, this process is evidence through the works I created in this class, from the literacy narrative to the E-portfolio in which is a living …show more content…
I believe the first paper created the most growth for me as a writer as I spent more time wondering how I could come up with a narrative and ultimately spent more time on writing this paper more than any other paper. Nonetheless, this paper received the highest grade out of any of my assignments so perhaps I could utilize my process of how I crafted the literacy narrative. I started the narrative by reflecting on what writing events changed my life forever. One event that clearly stood out was the Guardian podcast on Postmodernism I decided to listen to in my free time for whatever reason. Although I had a hard time keeping up with what the professors were trying to say, this instance was the first time I realized just how powerful of an effect literature could have on society. By debating on literature in an academic setting, I learned the profound effect literature can have in understanding human society. By emphasizing the effect this one instance had one my life, I created a narrative that ultimately started the journey in this class to my progression as a writer. Although my narrative wasn’t perfect the narrative served as a good start for my journey in this

    It's important to recognize yourself as a writer before beginning to project yourself to an audience. As evident by the papers read recently in class and every English 101 course you hear about, the literacy narrative serves as any writer's introductory assignment, and it is rightfully so. The project is to analyze how literacy has been shaped by exploring reading, writing, and spelling struggles or triumphs from your past. Famous authors may use this to help their audience get to know them, but college students striving to fulfill a core requirement can use it to help better themselves as writers. Whether it be an untraditional means of education, an outspoken minority, or a "door breaking" point of view the topic appeals to an audience as it delivers the promise of understanding the author and whatever other topical issues the narrative brings along with it.…

    Everyone has their own literary narrative and their own path into literacy. The growth from picture books to those with over a thousand pages is a huge transition in one’s life. Reading has impacted my life and others such as Gerald Graff, Richard Rodriguez, and Eudora Welty. I know my literary journey is still only beginning and the rest of my novel known as life is still a blank book. From here on I am just going to continue writing the…

    Overview: For this assignment you will write an autobiographical narrative based on your past literary experience that communicates insight about yourself as a reader and/or writer to your audience (in this case, your instructor and your classmates). Your essay should center around one remembered event and/or one remembered person. It should not be several small anecdotes combined into one essay, although you may refer to these in your essay. You may consider places, family traditions, teaching methods, school experiences, classes, assignments, or anything else from your past that has helped shape your literacy. You will want to make sure that your essay explains how your chosen topic changed you in some way. Use detail, description, and/or dialogue to tell your story compellingly and vividly. To get started, we have read and will continue to read and discuss both professional and student narratives. As a group and individually, we’ll look for common factors that help these narratives succeed as both powerful stories and conveyors of personal knowledge.…

    I have enjoyed tutoring students through the Literacy Corps for nearly two years. The program has helped push me outside of my comfort zone by leading and teaching students. Without challenging myself, I would never have been able to establish a connection with the many students and teachers in the Syracuse area that I have today. I greatly value these connections and relationships, which have helped further my learning experience in college.…

    My literacy journey has been going full speed since I was able to comprehend the words that my parents spoke to me. Growing up I was a swift learner, so the concepts of reading, writing, and spelling came quick to me. My perfectionist tendencies assisted me in my motivation to learn to words, how to spell them, and how to use them. My parents took notice of my accelerated learning ability, so they pushed it fully. Going to the library was a fun activity that usually occurred once or twice a week, where I was encouraged to explore all of the books and figure out what I liked the most. They would challenge me by assisting me in figuring out things on my own, instead of babying me through everything that I found confusing.…

    As I wrote my literacy narrative, I learned many new things about how to perfect my writing. I used to always begin my writing process with an outline, because this is what I was taught in high school, but this time I tried a new strategy. I learned this new strategy from the text, Shitty First Drafts. First I typed up a bunch of nonsense that I wanted in my paper. Then I went back and put it all in order and made sense of it. This definitely made writing a 1000-word narrative a whole lot easier. Although after I had done this I realized that I didn’t go back in and change my past and present tense verbs. This caused some confusion later when I had others peer edit my paper, but I made sure to fix those errors on my final draft. I learned a…

    Literacy Autobiography

    So everything—my reading, writing, and other experiences— started with my birth on October 6, 1996; well okay, not really—it didn’t start with my birth. They, my reading and writing experiences, started with preschool, which is the same for most people. These two skills are an integral part of my life; I use them almost every day. However, that doesn’t mean I have to like both of them. I did not like reading very much then, writing even more so; essays and paragraphs and essays and some more essays were painful. My writing skills, to say the very least, were not very developed. As time passed, however, my views toward writing and reading began to change and my ability to write evolved. My reminiscing begins with preschool and there, my first encounter with writing.…

    Literacy narrative can be described as a narrative from a first person perspective. This narrative would be based on experiences the writer faces regardless in any face of his or her life. Reflecting on the literacy narrative I was given to complete, there were parts where I struggled to write and there were also parts I breezed through easily. To start off, I had struggled in making sure there were no errors in the process of me composing my narrative. With the advantage of making and submitting a draft prior to submitting the final paper, several grammatical corrections and sentence improvements was done and perfected to the highest extent possible. Another struggle I faced was the emotional impact it had on me as I recalled every bitter moment from my past experience dealing with literacy. Time was also an addition to my struggle since I am working 9 hours a day as part of my internship and at the same time I had only one week to complete the draft and three other assignments for the class. Time management was a crucial aspect in the process of completing my literacy narrative. The part where I breezed to easily was the writing out everything that came to mind. I never faced the problem to describe every event that I experienced in words.…
