Cole Graves Reflection Completing this working draft was a little bit of a challenge for me mainly because it forced

me to think about who taught me to write .I have never thought of what taught me or who taught it was just kind of natural. Fir the first draft that I wrote I used multiple examples of what had taught me to write. Then we had homework where we had to read about a girls literacy narrative. She didnt talk about every little thing that had happened in her life that had aided or hindered her but she focused on very specific event in her life. She made a story out of it, she mad it interesting to read. I thought it was interesting to listen to somebody turn a boring story into something I enjoyed reading. The tips at the end of the girls literacy narrative gave me a lot of insight on how I should write my own. The tips helped a lot . Also seeing other peoples discussion board posts gave me even more ideas on what to write about. Finishing this draft was difficult for me because its hard to express how much this event helped me.
