Literacy Nariative Analysis
The Literacy Nariative that caught my interest was "Proficiency". I chose this Literacy Narriative simply because I believed in her, and maybe, just maybe our problem could have been similar In some ways. I believed I had a test anxiaty beyond me. I just couldn't get over the stress that test brough me; My hands sweat, they would shake, I was unable to think clearly, and it would make absolutley no sense to me because, I have always done well in my classes through and through. The thought of not passing the Fcat or any writing test at all frightened me because, I concider myself a well preformed student. Eventually I somehow pushed myself over that speed bump in my life, I tought myself to relex and to take my time, I tought myself to review

    My example for the Reading Literacy objective is reading the novel, Invisible Man. Throughout the journey of reading Invisible Man we’ve done pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities and applied strategies from all three activities to other assignments. The second bullet of the reading literacy objective states “To apply pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies to all reading assignments, including determining purpose and pre-reading vocabulary.” Before reading Invisible Man we read a multitude of different works of literature to better understand the time period in which the book had taken place. We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    In the essay “Cultural Literacy,” E.D. Hirsh argues that raising our literacy levels cannot solely depend on researching new and varies “teaching techniques”, but by implementing “cultural literacy” into our school curricula. In fact, he suggests that educational institutions steer away from teaching “cultural literacy” in fear of “imposing cultures and ideologies” which is a factor in the decline of literacy. He references a couple of experiments which helped him realized that students weren’t literate in cultural aspects or “cultural literacy”. Hirsh claims by administering these cultural concepts into the classroom, literacy will increase.…

    Over the past few weeks, the struggling student that I have been observing is called A. I started to know A better when he was undertaking a center plan activity during the literacy class. I inquired about him and he told me that his name is A and he is 6 years old. I asked A about his family back home. He told me that everyone at his home was okay. I probed him for more information about his family and he told me that he lives with his mother and two sisters. He mentioned that both of his sisters are older than him and that his mother is a nurse. When I asked him about other family members, he said that his grandfather comes to visit them once in a while and that he always brings him a gift. For example, the last time A was visited by his…

    In my personal literacy narrative, I have chosen to include the most important literacy sponsors that have had influenced my growth as a reader over the years. I would like to dwell on the positive impact of my parents, books and educational institutions on my personal literacy. It goes without saying that each of the aforementioned factors has had an impact on my development as a literate person to certain extent. At the same time, my interaction with people and books as the literacy sponsors is still of high significance to me now. My literacy sponsors taught me the necessities of life and helped me to become more literate. Thanks to the positive impact of my literacy sponsors, education and self-development…

    Typically, people think of reading when they see a novel or a short story, but I think of reading when I’m out on the baseball field. When I hear the word “reading”, unlike most people, I think of a green grassy baseball diamond at night, with the lights lighting it up, filled with fans in the stands. Believe it or not, I read all the time on the field. I read the ball coming off the bat when I’m playing in the field. When I hear the “ding” of the metal bat and hard, rubber ball colliding, I know that there is a chance I could make a great play. I can see the ball getting bigger and bigger as in approaches me. I read the ball coming out of the pitcher’s hand, picking up the spin as soon as I can so I can know when and where to swing to make solid contact with the ball. I even read people’s body language when I’m pitching. I can tell a lot about the batter by how he’s standing and the facial expression on his face.…

    Back in 1986, when I was in eighth grade; my first experience with computers was horrible. We would sit in class and enter line after line of code; which made as much sense to me as typing in a foreign language. I was typing in letters and numbers, but had no idea what they meant. Hours were spent this way; so at the end of the exercise I could hit ”enter” and see some lines flash across the screen over and over. By the time I was finished with eighth grade I never wanted to see another computer ever again. Unfortunately the following year in high school I had to take a computer course. It was more of the same; a bunch of codes and “mumbo-jumbo” that had no meaning to me what so ever. I struggled through…

    Writing has always been my most difficult part of English. Reading, on the other hand, is something I could do all day; however, with writing, I grimace just thinking about it. It was not that I did not have anything to say, because I actually have quite a bit to say. I just could never figure out how to phrase what I had to say in just right way on the page. My mom taught me to read and write at a young age. After that, I would devour any book that I could get my hands on. However, I have had trouble with writing since it became more than just my alphabet and numbers.…

    Can you remember what your teacher taught you back in kindergarten? Chances are she was introducing you to the basics of reading and writing. Literacy is the ability to read and write, and because I did not think I was very good at either of the two, it had never been my favorite thing to do. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I had an English class that I actually enjoyed. My teacher was Ms. Holly Eubanks. The past classes had boasted about how good of a teacher Ms. Eubanks was and how, even though she may take a while to grade your papers, she was always trying to help you improve in every possible way she could. On the first day I learned that Ms. Eubanks happened to quite attractive as well, which made it a little easier to pay attention in class. She had blonde hair, green eyes, a fit physique, and she had a very caring and considerate personality which helped her talk to her students and give them confidence in her class. Before taking the class, I knew from her former students that her biggest essay was the one thousand-word “Senior Reflection” that she had us write for our final. Ms. Eubanks’s essay just so happened to be the single most important project that changed my outlook on literacy forever.…

    People learn to read and write in many different ways. Everyone has a different story with the way they learned to read and write. I'm the youngest child of 3; I have an older brother and sister. As a kid my mom was a stay at home mom, she would read to me while my brother and sister were in school. She tried her hardest to teach me to read and write. I just never showed any interest in learning to read. Then one day, I was in my room just playing with a book. My mom…
