Alright, so, I kind of already know what my literacy narrative's going to be about, but I want some feedback to see if you guys like it. We're going to have to go way back to sixth grade with Mrs. G. She seriously taught me to enjoy writing and gave me the confidence to know that I was at least half decent at it. I give her credit for making English my favorite academic class.
After class one day, she pulled me aside and told me how much she like reading my writing and that I had developed this thing called voice. Now, to an eleven year old, I first off, needed a definition of this. After she explained it, she said it was something usually taught around eighth grade, so that was definitely a confidence boost. After that, I put more thought into writing and learned my strengths and weaknesses. I am very thankful for what Mrs. G has done for me.
I've enjoyed reading your blogs this week, Julia, and appreciate your insights about _Split_ and what makes the writing strong. What you've posted here sounds like a great topic for a literacy narrative. It's true that one genuine and well-timed compliment from a teacher can affect a student forever. Think about the concrete details you will want to include to make it vivid: dialogue, facial expression, setting details, etc.
