Regardless of our backgrounds, our ideas of literacy often become deeply engrained and labeled as "good" or "bad" without much thought about how these views have come to be. As a result, many of us have definitions of literacy-of reading, writing, and viewing-that could benefit from a thoughtful and honest close self-examination.
Choose a Focus: Please draw from the following as you develop your essay focus:
• Narrate an early memory about writing or reading that you recall vividly. Then explainwhy this event is significant to you now. (Similar to Malcolm X and the student example on pp. 36 in the text)
• Identify a book or other text and explain its significance for you in your reading andwriting. (Similar to Sherman Alexie)
• Choose a literacy theme from your experience (difficulty, pleasure, distraction, benefits, etc.) and unify your literacy narrative around it (Similar to Ivan Dole)
• Narrate your literacy journey from first memories to now (Similar to Ivan Dole's and the student example)
