My Reflection On My Literacy Narrative

690 Words3 Pages

I was unsure of my overall writing skills upon entering this course, but with each individual skill that was taught to us, I was able to connect all necessary components for success. In my previous semester in college I took several general education courses that had lengthy writing requirements and I was able to get these assignments done but not without many struggles and sub-par final products. By actively participating in class and completing all of the assigned work, this course has laid the foundation for me to continue to improve my writing skills.

    Literacy Narrative Reflection of “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream” When reflecting on Randy Pausch’s, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream,” through a literacy narrative standpoint, it is easier to see how this presentation falls best under this category compared to a research paper or rhetorical analysis. There is no formal MLA style formatting nor does the presentation fall between seven hundred to nine hundred words in length, thus taking away twenty points of the overall score. Paush neglects to name himself as the presenter or main source of this presentation, but through the content it is implied that he is indeed the main source thus preventing any plagiarism issues. It is his own story which means there is nothing to plagiarize.

  • Essay About My Experience With Literacy

    1163 Words  | 5 Pages

    Writing about my own experiences with literacy is difficult for many reasons. Firstly, most of my writing has been about a subject, book, assignment, that was not about my own experience, nor was it a topic, or character, or style that I could connect to and expand upon in my own way. Secondly, I had a major concussion, and from that point on I’ve had difficulty remembering some things from my past. Every memory before my concussion is chopped up bits, and only of few are accessible at any given time. This may be a normal experience with memory, even for people who have not had an injury.
