Essay 1: Literacy Narrative- 500 words
Assignment: Write a short essay about the impact of reading upon your life. A literacy essay explores oneâ€
s growth as a reader. Donâ€t confuse “literacy†with “literature.†The goal is to come up with a thesis that states how one specific text, or perhaps a series of them, or just the written word in general contributed to your personal development.
OPTION 1: If you are writing about your experience becoming literate (learning to read and write), you will probably take a narrative approach, detailing your first experiences in school or your first memories of books or the first time reading or writing seemed to make a big impact on your life. You will want strong transition from paragraph to paragraph, and your paragraphs should be around six sentences in length to be fully developed. Your organization will probably be chronological, moving from stage to stage in your life.
OPTION 2: If you focus more on a specific text or a specific reading experience, youâ€ll structure your essay in a more subject-by-subject fashion. Your introduction will establish that you are writing about significant moments at which literacy or particular texts impacted your life and give a sense of why those moments or texts are important. Your body paragraphs will be organized around each of those texts or moments, explaining what they were and narrating why they mattered. You will still want strong transitions and paragraphs of roughly six sentences.
What youâ€ll be graded upon:
15% Introduction: You set a context for why itâ€s important to discuss the place of reading and writing in our lives. How has your experience in these areas shaped your values? What can other people learn from the story you have to tell? You may use a specific anecdote or episode from your life to illustrate your point.
15% Thesis: You state in 1-2 sentences your main idea. The thesis is the culmination of your introduction.
30% Organization. You have two options for organizing your essay, depending on the focus you take:
