introduce yourself(me) to the class by defining yourself as a reader. Before you start writing, brainstorm on all of the books, magazines, articles, websites and other texts that you have read or are reading (YouTube or video does not count as reading). Also, brainstorm on how and where you read. Make a long list.
Then step back from that list and see if you see a pattern of some kind: what do you typically read? Or do you read in a certain way? What seems most important when examining your reading experiences?
From your experiences, find a unique overall point to make about who you are as a reader and settle on this as your thesis in a brief introduction. You might choose an overall point that says something interesting about your background and other experiences (your work, hometown, etc.), but keep your writing focused on explaining yourself as a reader.
Pull four or five direct quotes from your reading experiences (you might have to locate them in the library,etc.) to support your thesis and in the end, develop several supporting paragraphs that explain your thesis with distinct reasons that this thesis is true (one supporting reason for each supporting paragraph). Use MLA format to cite the texts you have quoted from. 600 words
