I guess my small list of ideas fits into the two obvious topics, Reading and Writing
Reading:
- When I was about 3, my grandmother (who is the principal and owner of a preschool) gave me a basket filled with books for my birthday. There were The Golden Books, your basic princess fairytales, Author, Clifford, and lots of Dr. Suess. All those fun guys. I loved my book basket. I would drag it behind me throughout my house and beg my mommy to read me a story at every moment of every day. She would read to me whenever possible, and by the time I was five I was reading to my newborn sister, cousins, stuffed animals, and of course myself. That basket of books was all I needed to create this huge love of reading that I have today.
Writing:
- When I was in fifth grade I had the best teacher ever. Ms. Allred was not only the coolest (she was a swimmer, duh) most creative, and most understanding teacher I've ever had, but she sparked my interest in writing. My class was given the assignment of writing a book. Yep, a whole book. Now apparently Ms. Allred, my parents, and most of my classmates and friends were expecting a book to be about 10-15 pages of a story with a pretty cover. How was I supposed to know that? I always write too much! When my story reached it 40th page, Ms. Allred had to ask me to end the book. "There can always be a sequel..." she kindly explained. I didn't agree her one bit. All the books I read at that age were huge books with tons of chapters and (wait for it...) NO PICTURES! That's what I wanted to write, a real book!
If you have any suggestions that would be super duper :) Let me know!
I think that you could probably write more about how you wrote a book, and you could probably make it sound better and more interesting than the one about the book basket, but both are great ideas!
ReplyDeleteMs. Allred sounds like a fun teacher! I woulve done the same thing with the pages, you could use the writing one for your literacy narrative. It'd be a really cool topic to use:)
