Writing a Literacy Narrative
A literacy narrative is a personal essay exploring how a writer developed proficiency in something – usually reading and writing.
It’s often the first paper in a college writing class. What better place to begin than your personal story with literacy?
Writing a Literacy Narrative introduces students in grades 10-12 to the writing process as they produce an essay reflecting on their experience with reading and writing. Students should have a solid foundation in basic writing skills as well as experience writing short papers such as book reports, journal entries and lab reports.
This is a 3-week asynchronous course. There are no scheduled class meetings. Instead, all the instruction is included in the course so students can complete the work for each week at the times most convenient for your family. Purchase grants access to the course for 6 months.
Structure
Writing a Literacy Narrative features short videos, reading, and writing activities for students that contribute to the final paper. A student discussion group is also included.
The course is designed for students to complete the work independently, with parents providing feedback on the first draft and grading the final draft. Grade rubrics are included.
