Literacy Narrative Assignment
A literacy narrative should focus on a time in your life that shaped your identity as a reader and/or writer. This moment can be from any time period in your life and should be told in detail. This should be a compelling story for your readers (myself and your peers) to read. This doesn’t have to be a positive experience. Feel free to share the negative experiences you may have encountered, as these are just as powerful.

Starting Point:
If you get stuck, and can’t seem to figure out how to start your narrative, try considering these questions:
★ What is a particularly vivid memory you have of reading or writing? Positive or negative?
★ What or who has impacted your experiences or feelings toward reading and/or writing?
★ Is there a specific book or text (any form of writing, diary, text message, letter etc.) that may have impacted how you feel about writing? Or that creates strong feelings in you?
★ What were your high school experiences like with reading and writing?
★ What are you particularly passionate about?
○ When did this come about?
○ How did it come about?
