Visit the UC Davis undergraduate student publication, Readings About Writing . http://fycjournal.ucdavis.edu/
. Skim read through several editions, across a range of years–familiarize yourself with the journal. Select two published literacy narratives to review [NOTE: there are other essay genres published in RaW, so be sure that you’re responding to a literacy narrative and not a research essay or something else.]
Here is the format for your review (you will do this TWICE, one for each literacy narrative you read):
Title, author’s full name, publication date (year and quarter)
What is the theme of this literacy narrative? How does the author develop this theme?
What narrative elements does the author use? What is the effect of these narrative elements?
In what ways does this literacy narrative influence the way that you are thinking about writing your own literacy narrative? (In other words, are there things the author is doing here that you’d like to emulate? Are there elements of this composition that you’d like to avoid? What technique might you borrow or adapt?)
