I was/ am having some trouble thinking of a subject for my literacy narrative. However I came up with one idea and I guess I will give a summary.
The event that has affected me as a reader isn't related to school or education at all, it's just a real life experiance. A few months ago my sister was hospitalized because she developed HSP. The first time she went she was there for a couple of days then got released, but her HSP just got worse. The next time she was hospitalized it was closer to a week she stayed there. So how did this effect the way I read books? This experience makes me feel for main characters in books with difficulties in their life, which is most. Before I would read stories and couldn't relate on a deeper emotional level, I never had anything to connect to my life is fairly normal. Now I feel for characters and that makes the book so much more real.
That was my summary, obviously I would add more details. I am still trying to think of maybe one more experience but this one is my strongest.
I think this is an interesting approach to the literacy narrative. It will definitely be a challenge to make the literacy connection in a vivid and compelling way, but I think it could be done. Think about finding a way to pull the idea of connecting with characters all the way through the narrative.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I think this is an excellent idea! Yes, I agree with you, you can add more, but that is a great start! I would like to read more of this essay when you get done. Hopefully, I can be one of the peers to review it!
