You will write a four page double-spaced essay that shares and reflects on 1- 2 important experiences from your own life that have shaped your literacy practices or identity today. Literacy in this context means reading or writing and the language used for both processes. Can you think of a time where you wrote something you were particularly proud of? Or maybe you remember a time where you had to complete a required reading for a class. With whatever stories you tell, you need to write about their significance to your own development of literacy. How have these experiences informed you about how you will read and write in the future? The essay should not just be a description of something that happened.
