Literacy Narrative

     For my literacy narrative I'm most likely going to be writing about my Sophomore year English class. This class was one of my favorite English classes ever. I had a really great teacher who explained things in a way that I understood very well. We read a couple of books throughout the year, some I didn't like, some I did, and at the end of the year we had to write a persuasive essay that was probably my favorite essay I've ever written. One of the books we read that I didn't find interesting at all was House On Mango Street. It was boring and I didn't feel like there was a point to it at all. One of the books that we read that I did find interesting was A Midsummer Night's Dream. Even though it was Shakespeare and a little hard to read at points, I really like it! My teacher was great at explaining these books and helping us understand the key points in each. I think that's why I liked her so much. She would help us understand the book, but at the same time she would challenge us to learn things by ourselves. After reading these books, we had to write a persuasive essay on any topic of our choice. I chose to write about how varsity athletes shouldn't be required to take a gym class in High School. I think I liked writing this because it was my own opinion and I could express my own feelings. Yes, I had to do a little bit of research to back up my information, but I really enjoyed writing it. I guess I like writing papers in which I can have some say in them, to get my opinions and feelings out. Which is why I think I will like writing this literacy narrative. It's going to be my own experience and my own story, which will be easy to write about.
