Coordination
There are various different reasons that teachers assign literacy narratives, but the big one is that teachers get to see these students “identities” and how they feel towards reading and writing.
-I gave a quote and then I implemented some of my thoughts. I said there are many reasons for assigning literacy narratives but the biggest one is teachers see kids identities. I used the text to put my thoughts down.
I say “and/or” because in many people’s specific literacy narrative, they do write about both, either because they go hand in hand, or they are talking about English class as a whole.
-I was talking about how students write about reading or writing. But then I said “or they are talking about English class as a whole” because some students talk about english class, so those are equally important.
The individual often blames his sponsor for making reading and writing worse, and making it extremely hard to succeed in.
-I challenged the text and then used my ideas using “and”. I gave my opinion as well, after stating what the writer had to say.
Subordination
Alexander says that writing a literacy narrative “discusses how someone took the fun out of reading and writing”, so she is inferring that reading and writing is supposed to be fun. However, for most of the time, she probably is right.
-I used Alexanders text and tied it with my opinion. I also used the word “However” to do so.
The victims can even turn to rebel behaviors, but it seems that the privileged kids are the ones doing that. Since they are so fed up with being victimized by their teachers, they will start critiquing it, saying it is wrong and this can lead them to fall behind on their studies.
-I used since after using the text to emphasize and tie my thoughts together.
The first thing I want to do is introduce the reader to what a literacy narrative is, since they are not the most common piece of writing, and an abundance of outsiders would not know.
-Right off the bat I use since and tie it to the rest of my introduction paragraph.
