Literacy Narrative Assignment

A literacy narrative should focus on a time in your life that shaped your identity as a reader and/or writer. This moment can be from any time period in your life and should be told in detail. This should be a compelling story for your readers (myself and your peers) to read. This doesn’t have to be a positive experience. Feel free to share the negative experiences you may have encountered, as these are just as powerful.

Starting Point:

If you get stuck, and can’t seem to figure out how to start your narrative, try considering these questions:

★ What is a particularly vivid memory you have of reading or writing? Positive or negative?

★ What or who has impacted your experiences or feelings toward reading and/or writing?

★ Is there a specific book or text (any form of writing, diary, text message, letter etc.) that may have impacted how you feel about writing? Or that creates strong feelings in you?

★ What were your high school experiences like with reading and writing?

★ What are you particularly passionate about?

○ When did this come about?

○ How did it come about?

You don’t have to answer all of these questions directly in your narrative, in fact, you shouldn’t. These questions should serve as guides to help you figure out what to write about.

A Nose of Shame

Background
Considering the changes Carver made to his story, “Mine,” on pages 19 & 20 in our textbook, LFC, and that all writers must reflect on and subsequently revise their work, you will practice this art.

Instructions
Using your saved writing piece ‘A Nose of Shame’, you will reflect on and revise this piece using Word/Track changes or another means of illustrating where you made changes, and you will also write me a short note at the top of the page, summing up the changes you made.

1. Find your saved writing (A Nose of Shame) and open it, reflecting on what you wrote and how you might be more descriptive. It helps to work with a partner or someone in your life to offer feedback. What questions do they have? Where could you have added or subtracted?

2. Open your document in Word and use the track changes feature in order to illustrate where your changes were made (or use another system to illustrate changes–such as using the strike-out feature and writing new changes in a different colored font).

3. Finally, at the top of your document, in BIGGER or DIFFERENT FONT, please write me a note, commenting on anything you’d like—your writing, the process of revision, and any thoughts on your experience as a creative writer. I’m looking for at least one paragraph. Save the document.

  • Specifically explain what it is that fascinates you or draws you to this topic.
  • Clearly describe the topic’s relevance in the field today.
  • Identify a purpose for a paper on this topic:
    • What might you accomplish in exploring this problem?
    • What is your intended goal?
      • To evoke change
      • To make new connections (new cause and effect)

    • Is this goal realistic?

Personal Narrative: The Power of Stereotypes

On the topic of stereotypes, Communications scholar Kathleen Hall Jamieson offers the following observations:

“The word stereotype was coined by Walter Lippmann in his influential book Public Opinion, published in 1922. We do not react directly to reality but process it through representations or cognitive structures that help us sort information. Stereotypes are ‘pictures in our heads,’ said Lippmann. They take features by which we differentiate one group from another (e.g., skin color or gender) and link them to ascribed characteristics that have no necessary relationship” (64).

John Chaffee once observed that perceptions such as “women are very emotional” or “teenagers are wild and irresponsible” are termed stereotypes because they express a belief about an entire group of people without recognizing individual differences among members of the group. Stereotypes affect your perception of the world because they encourage you to form an inaccurate and superficial idea of a whole group of people” (151, 9th ed).

The upshot of this twofold: First, stereotypes perform an important function in that, as Lippmann says, they “help us sort information.” This is what makes thinking with stereotypes attractive: they make it easier to process information by providing shortcuts; they help us organize and filter our experiences. The problem, of course, is that stereotypes “help” us by diminishing others—that is, by glossing over or ignoring the complexities of other people’s lives. Ultimately, such thinking diminishes the person using the stereotype too. Such a person becomes intellectually lazy, relying on conventional wisdom and preconceived notions which insulate him/her from reality.

With these points in mind, write an essay in which you do the following:

1) Describe an incident in which you were perceived as a stereotype because of your age, ethnic or religious background, employment, accent, place of residence or some other factor.

2) Explain how it felt to be stereotyped in this way.

3) Discuss where the stereotype might have originated as well as at least one specific action that might be taken to prevent such acts of stereotyping.
