Write 200-300 words in response to the following prompt:
Think about your previous experiences with reading, writing, and storytelling. As a child, did you have a favorite book? Did a family member or caregiver tell you stories you enjoyed? Did you learn to read or speak in multiple languages? In what situations do you use writing (e.g., at school, in personal communications, etc.)? These experiences, taken together, form your literacy history.
Choose one story from your history and describe it in detail: What happened? How old were you? Who was there? Where did this event occur? You can tell any story you wish as long as it involves an experience you had related to reading, writing and/or storytelling. Your #audience for this story is both your instructor and your peers in this class.
After writing your story, explain why it was a meaningful experience to you. What did it teach you about yourself, your community, your family, and/or the world around you?
This entry may be scored on #audience and #professionalism.
