Taking Stock of your writing questions

   1.   What was your main point (thesis)?  “The Moral of the Story”?
The story was about the process of learning to read (something I didn’t appreciate at the time.) Ended up being a skill I use in my daily life and how moments we are not fond of can have a better impact in our lives than we may be aware of at the time.
   2.   Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them? The audience are those whom have no awareness of me or my life. None of them know about my personal history or how much I didn’t like learning to read. I had to give them a little insight into whom my grandmother was so they could understand why the specific event in the beginning was happening.
   3.  What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not? I didn’t ask for much help on writing the narrative. I talked about how I intended to use the 5 characteristics in my narrative.
   4.   What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it? I had a hard time more figuring out what information to include or not include to in the narrative. I felt the events of reading and what happened in the classroom were very subtle yet powerful experiences that I felt may have not been as well expressed in the narrative as it was to experience them.
   5.   What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)
   I think the beginning story of hooked on phonics and memories of my grandmother were good strengths to telling the narrative. The other areas I was unsure of were how to tie it in with the moment of realization of how it was important. It was a very subtle experience in terms of specific events but a very impactful one on to how things could be different if I had not had those earlier experiences of learning to read through hooked on phonics.
