690 Words3 Pages

The penultimate paragraph in my Literacy Narrative was meant to try and explain my relationship with literacy and how others may be able to use this same idea to have hope and to prepare themselves for situations they may encounter in the future. Again, I was very vague while trying to explain this to the readers. The changes I made were to not leave questions unanswered but to directly state the benefits that I personally gained from reading these books and how others may benefit from this type of reading as

Your answers should be text-based, but inference and analysis will be required to fully answer the questions. Upcoming test questions are not limited to study guide topics or format, so a review of chapters 4-6 may also be useful to your preparation. GOOD LUCK! : ) Please use paraphrasing and embedded quotes to prove your points. Full sentence quoting is not as effective as your answers should be your writing, not the author’s.

Children covered in glitter and glue is a sight to witness. Scattered around the room are broken crayons, uncapped markers, and torn paper scraps.

Writing about my own experiences with literacy is difficult for many reasons. Firstly, most of my writing has been about a subject, book, assignment, that was not about my own experience, nor was it a topic, or character, or style that I could connect to and expand upon in my own way. Secondly, I had a major concussion, and from that point on I’ve had difficulty remembering some things from my past. Every memory before my concussion is chopped up bits, and only of few are accessible at any given time. This may be a normal experience with memory, even for people who have not had an injury.

Literacy Narrative Reflection of “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream” When reflecting on Randy Pausch’s, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream,” through a literacy narrative standpoint, it is easier to see how this presentation falls best under this category compared to a research paper or rhetorical analysis.

Paush neglects to name himself as the presenter or main source of this presentation, but through the content it is implied that he is indeed the main source thus preventing any plagiarism issues. It is his own story which means there is nothing to plagiarize.
