In this task, you will tell a story about significant moments of your literacy (reading/writing/speaking/etc.) development and analyze your experiences using at least two of the frameworks covered in our readings. You will support your analysis with specific details, examples, and connections to our course readings. Finally, you will make a specific, arguable, and thematic claim that answers the question How have your past experiences with literacy and language impacted your present writing identity (including: writing practices, language use, writing-related values, beliefs, and attitudes)?”
To develop your narrative, you will need a written script that should be 1,200-1,500 words (4-5 double-spaced pages) in length.
For this multimodal narrative, I am asking you to do six things:
1. Describe a few important literacy events from your past; these moments should help illustrate a common theme about who you are as a writer (i.e., a reader, writer, and language user) today
2. Analyze your literacy moments using at least two course framework
3. Support your analysis by connecting examples and quotes from the course frameworks (i.e., the readings) to your descriptions
4. State your current values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices of reading, writing, and using language and explain how the literacy events youve described above have shaped your current writing identity
5. Complement your description and analysis with multimodal content (I can do this myself)
There are three sources total. Two have been uploaded, and the others I will link down below.
