“Please write a short narration (one page) recounting a significant literacy event or development in your life. In the broadest sense, this assignment asks you to reflect in some way on the roles that reading, writing, and community have played in your life–to consider, in other words, how you became the literate person you are now and are still in the process of becoming.
By re-creating or retelling a sequence of occurrences that relates to your literacy development, you will be using narration for a specific purpose: to argue a point, create a mood, or provide an example. Whatever the purpose, you need to determine exactly what point you want to make; it should be a general point that you will bring to life with specific, relevant, and representative examples.”
