For this assignment, you will compose a portrait of yourself as a
reader and writer. Use the questions below to get started. Please do
not answer the questions in sequence, but use them to help you follow
the threads of memory where they lead you. However, make sure you do
respond explicitly to the last two points. Do not write more than 2
pages.
How did you learn to write? How did you learn to read? Do you have any
specific memories of these experiences?
Were there one or two early experiences that seemed to shape your
direction, or form your attitude towards reading and writing? Who were
the people who contributed towards that attitude or direction, either
positively or negatively?
How do you think of yourself as a reader or writer now? Why? How do
you feel when you get a reading or writing assignment? What makes the
difference between any kind of reading and writing you initiate and
engage in for yourself, and the reading and writing you do for school?
Looking back over what you have written, what conclusions can you draw
about yourself as a reader and writer?
Based on what you know about yourself as a reader and writer, what
goals have you set for yourself in this class? Be detailed and
specific.
