Now he writes award-winning books" (large metropolitan newspaper)- “Literacy Narrative” (online literary journal)- “Literacy Narrative” (essay – DALN)DALNGet in small groups, no more than 3.Process:- Read each draft.- Spend a few moments conversing about the narrative’s content, that is about the story the writer tells. Find ways you connect to the story and ask the writer a few questions to pull out more information.Your comments might sound something like:“I too was the reading introvert of my family. Did you keep a flashlight under your bed to secretly read at night?”- Point out pertinent lines, those killer phrases that if the entire story had to fall away you would save those lines. For example:"Rigoberto González grew up in a family of immigrant farmworkers. Now he writes award-winning books" “...the word afro appears in a poem and my professor suggests I delete it. He asks: Who are you really addressing, in that moment? And: Is this a political poem?...The poem changes when marked by my blackness, I learn. My readership splits, and some leave me. I imagine my readers gathering their coats, turning up their collars against the single raindrop released by the stormcloud of my blackness in a poem.”Kiki Petrosino- Find specific titles of specific works by specific writers in the text. If you can’t find these, remind your peer writer to fill in those details.For example:“The students have just finished reading “Women of Deh Koh: Lives in an Iranian Village,” by Erika Friedl. ... This course was entitled Women, Gender, and Sex in the Middle East, ...They have completed reading a novel, called “A Wife for My Son,” by Ali Ghalem.”Alice Gaber (upcoming reading for Fri.)- Find evidence of specific factual details. If you can’t find these, remind your peer writer to fill in those details.For example:“...Romeo and Juliet had nothing on my parents. In the era before the civil rights movement, even in lascivious Southern California, a darkly handsome Indian man and a white woman were not easily tolerated. Although antimiscegenation laws had been declared unconstitutional in California in 1948...Native Americans did not enter the canonical field of American literature until 1969, when Kiowa N. Scott Momady won the Pulitzer Prize...”Deborah A. Miranda“Facebook has 51 different options for gender....The Barns & Noble near your house has two tiny shelves labeled ‘LGBT Books,’ hidden behind the massive ‘Christian Literature’ section.”Madison Hoffman- Can you pull out a quote from one of our readings to use as an epigraph to your own literacy narrative?For example:“Story is the most powerful force in the world—in our world, maybe in all worlds. Story is culture.”Deborah A. MirandaAfter class, when you’re working on your final draft, do go back and look at your Blog Post #1.
