Critical Literary Narrative

For your first project, you will write a critical literacy narrative: a short reflection about your various experiences as a writer and reader—positive, negative, and ambiguous—prior to your arrival at MU.

This project tasks you with thinking deeply about the complex forces both within and around the classroom that have shaped your sense of who you are as a learner. To be effective, your critical literacy narrative should make a clear argument about your learning experiences that includes a unique thesis statement and that integrates ideas and/or quotations from outside sources (class material).
