A literacy essay explores one’s growth as a reader. Don’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, contributed to your personal development. Successful essays will draw on specific examples of how specific readings affected your life, concrete retellings of personal anecdotes that explore those effects in a concrete fashion, keen analysis of the included examples, a clear and focused thesis statement, and well-organized support paragraphs. Your essay should contain a thesis statement that gives me an idea of how you will back this point up and how your support will be organized throughout. It should also fulfill the other requirements of your rubric. 500 words (two pages double spaced 12 point font). Please include your name, a title, the date, and your class hour at the top, as well as page numbers throughout. Individual Assignments (1A-1F) will be discussed in coming classes. Assignment 1A Close Reading Your assignment in the creation of your Literacy Narrative is to revisit your chosen text (or if you haven’t chosen one yet, ,choose one of the assigned readings for this module), reread it closely, keeping in mind the concepts of critical reading discussed in class, and then answer the following questions to help generate ideas for your literacy narrative: • • • • • • • Who is the “hero” or protagonist of this story? What, if anything, about the hero makes you relate to them? What is the hero’s main struggle? Is it an external or internal conflict? What lessons did the hero learn from their struggle? What are the major ways in which they changed or grew as a character? Have you ever faced a similar struggle in your own life? How can lessons the hero learned in your text be applied to your own life? Have you changed or grown over your life in similar or different ways than the protagonist of your chosen text? In answering these questions, you should demonstrate a thoughtful reflection on the piece, including key takeaways, aspects you agree or disagree with or were particularly struck by, and important questions for future consideration. This can be done in the free-flowing style of a pre-writing activity rather than the formal formatting of an MLA essay. Your close reading activity should be at least one full page in length. If you decide you want to use this reading as the focus of your literacy narrative, then at the bottom of the last page of your assignment, write down a one sentence description of your narrowed topic for this paper. Assignment 1B: Thesis Statement Your second assignment in the creation of your Literacy Narrative (1F) is to create your thesis statement (1B). For this exercise you should use this sheet as your guide and create a printed one page assignment that identifies your TOPIC, your STANCE on that topic, and three SUPPORT POINTS that you will use to back up that stance in your paper. Please include your name, date, etc., as you would on any other assignment and bring three hard copies to workshop (see Course Schedule Announcement for dates).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Assignment 1C: Outline Your third assignment in the creation of your Literacy Narrative (1F) is to take your thesis statement (1B) and expand it into an outline (1C). For this exercise you should use this handout as your guide and create a printed twoto-three page assignment that outlines a five paragraph structure for your essay based on an introduction, three support paragraphs, and a conclusion. Per our discussion in class, the three support points from your thesis should be the basis for your three support paragraphs. Since you’ll be including source material for this paper (quotes and paraphrases from your influential reading(s)), you can record key quotes or paraphrases (and their in-text citations) as examples where appropriate. Make sure to include your explanation or analysis of the source material you choose to use. Please include your name, date, etc., as you would on any other assignment and bring three hard copies to workshop (see Course Schedule Announcement for dates).

For this exercise you should use this handout as your guide and create a printed two-to-three page assignment that follows the five paragraph structure of your outline, but is fleshed out into complete sentences, and includes a clear introduction, support paragraphs, concrete examples, and a complete conclusion. Per our discussion in class, the three support points from your thesis should be the basis for your three support paragraphs.

Assignment 1E: Revision Exercise Your fifth assignment in the creation of your Literacy Narrative (1F) is to take your first draft (1D) and to do a revision exercise on it (1E), and then to fully revise and edit your first draft to create a final draft (1F) for submission in class. 1E: Revision and Editing Exercise For this exercise you should review (look again) at your first draft and type full sentence answers to the following prompts: 1. What part of your paper, if any, can use expansion and what specific information can you add there to make it stronger? 2. What part of your paper, if any, gets off topic, and what can you remove to help? 3. Is your organization strong? If so, what makes it strong? If not, or if it could use improvement still, what can you move or substitute to help? Consider creating a reverse outline to help. 4. Examine your paper’s tone. Is it too informal or conversational? If so, what can change? 5. Do you have any word choice errors that spellcheck wouldn’t find? 6. Do you have any coma-splice errors, run ons, or sentence fragments? 7.
