Whenever we write, whether it’s email to a friend or a toast for a wedding, an English essay or a résumé, we face some kind of rhetorical situation. Even when you engage in classwork for this course, you have to consider the rhetorical situation you are facing. Next week, you will have to write your first essay for the course. Using the guidelines in The Norton Field Guide pp. 3-9, answer the following questions for your upcoming assignment, Paper 1. /content/enforced/6952-Home-ENG1101-202140/Paper+1_Literacy+Narrative(1)__.docx
Paper 1: Literacy Narrative: 4-5 pages
In this paper, type a Literacy Narrative based on the instructions in the Norton Field Guide pp. 27-50. Because a literacy narrative is a non-fiction essay, you will need to present some aspect of your life and development as a literate person. You may focus on influences on your development, the process of growing as a reader and/or writer, and/or the impact of becoming literate on your life as a whole.
Most of you will not need outside sources, but, as a reminder, any texts or other sources that you quote, summarize, or paraphrase should be cited.
Now, that you have read the prompt, answer the following questions:
What genre does the assignment require? What do you know about this genre?
What do you see as your instructor’s purpose for this assignment? To have you demonstrate learning of some kind? Show your understanding of course material?
What is your purpose as the writer, apart from fulfilling your instructor’s expectations? Essays can inform or persuade audiences, for example. What is your essay going to do for your audience?
Who is your audience? Your instructor? Your classmates? Others? How much does the audience know about the topic?
How can you convey a confident, authoritative stance?
What media are available, permitted, and appropriate?
