Q Reading History Narrative Final Draft -------------- Please click on the link and submit your Narrative Essay Final Draft here. The final draft should demonstrate substantive revision from the rough draft and not just surface level changes. Instructions: In this class, we will explore different approaches to reading, studying, and analyzing children's literature. For our first writing assignment, think about your history as an early reader and in learning to read. I am interested in learning about the experiences that helped shape who you are as a reader today and how children's literature has influenced you. I am also interested in the literacy sponsors who have supported, hindered, or changed your reading practices in important ways. Please reference the readings from Module 1& 2 to support your writing. Instructions: Write a 2-3 page personal narrative about a connection/relationship you have had or have with a children's or YA text or author. Use detail and description to help the reader to see, feel, and understand what you experienced with this particular book or author and why and how it has matters to you. Share the role of literacy sponsorship in your learning to read and/or on your early reading habits. Did a literacy sponsor or mentor influence your connection to this book or author? How? *If you don't feel like you have a strong connection to a children's or YA book or author, you can tell the story of someone else's (a sister or brother or cousin, friend, neighbor, etc.).
