Assignment task:
''Writing'' for an audience of your campus classmates, many of whom have just met you, you will describe and explain a "significant" event or series of events in your experiences with language (these experiences might include reading, writing, and/or speaking). Your purpose in telling your classmates about this event(s) is to help them understand your current attitudes toward language (reading, writing, and/or speaking) and your current understanding of what the term "literacy" means. Think of it in terms of what you discovered about yourself because of this experience. The event(s) you choose to write about may have had positive or negative effects, but in either case you must carefully describe the event(s) for your audience, keeping in mind that most of your classmates are not familiar with your family, your home community, or your educational background. Therefore details are needed. Names, specific locations, titles, etc.
