The literacy narrative assignment was on a time when your opinion on reading or writing changed. So I sat in class wondering what I might be able to write about. Then it hit me, what about the time when I read my first "big book." I'm sort of free writing here, or as Dr. D calls it, writing my zero draft. I really hope this will turn out great and any input would really help out! So here is a part of my zero draft of my literacy narrative "Big Books".
I know it sounds stupid, but when I was little I had a fear of "big books." I was a very active reader when I was little, but all the books I read were small and wimpy. No matter how many times my mom would show me yet another fairly large book that I could read, I wouldn't read more than 70 pages. Until the third grade, I had read books like Junie B. Jones or Geronimo Stilton. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Those books are like less than 50 pages long. You've read those books in THIRD GRADE?!" But it is true. I was afraid of "big books." Then, for my seventh or eighth birthday, I had gotten the TV series Little House on the Prairie. It was a very enjoyable show that I loved watching, and when it came on a channel on the TV, I would freak out and have to watch it. So, as my mom was still trying to convince me to read books on a larger reading level, she had figured I very much enjoy Little House on the Prairie and recommended me the book. With this newly found love, I decided I should read it.
There was just a bit of my zero draft. There is most certainly more, but I don't want to give it all away. I hope you liked it and I can't wait to write more on the topic of my literacy narrative.
