Literacy Narrative, First Draft

By 11:59pm on Wednesday, February 17, please submit the first draft of your Literacy Narrative. Feel free to use parts of your Blog Post on Language and Joy to help you complete this first draft. Do your best to follow what the prompt asks (go to Blackboard>Submit Assignments>Major Writing Projects to find the prompt).

When ready, submit it on Blackboard at Blackboard>Submit Assignments>Major Writing Projects and click on “Literacy Narrative, Draft 1” to submit it. Please submit a .doc or .pdf file. Don’t stress too much here! This first draft will mostly be graded about using plenty of examples and just getting the words out.

Literacy Draft Revision Project

In the revision assignment due on March 8, you will take the material you generated in your Literacy Narrative, Draft 1 to start to focus on the things that seemed most interesting. No need to think too deeply about this right now, since you recently submitted (or will soon submit) the first draft.

However, I want you to just look at the prompt before class on February 22.

So, read it over now by going to Blackboard>Submit Assignments>Major Writing Projects and then click on the attachment in “Literacy Narrative Revision Project” which will be a document that offers instructions for the assignment.

We will be learning more before you submit your revision, so here are some of the things that are coming your way:

• More on revision (e.g., revision plans, writing session plans and writing goals)
• More on style in upcoming Learning Modules.
• The Liao reading is due for February 22, which will help this prompt make more sense, too.
