create a 750 to 1,500 word essay that conveys your experience(s) to an outside reader while also pointing towards a larger motivation or theme (a belief, a tension, a complexity related to reading and/or literacy and/or information literacy)
-
-
communicate—and reflect on—your experiences with reading, and perhaps with particular texts, or types of texts; center your experiences and reflections, and avoid in-depth summary of particular texts, or efforts to persuade your readers that a particular text is “good” or “important” (something can be an important site of reflection for you without being *objectively* important)
-
-
demonstrate audience awareness and make writing choices in alignment with your stated intentions (your purpose and audience should be described in detail in your reflective memos); if relevant, introduce particular text(s) enough to convey and reflect on your experiences, while also taking care that your essay aligns with your purpose and doesn’t become about those texts
-
-
incorporate at least one visual element that aids in communicating your message
-
-
You will work to identify—and eventually depict—one or more key literacy experiences related to reading, and perhaps to writing/composing as well. As you reflect on these experience(s), you will engage with questions such as: What texts have stuck with me over time, and why? What did I tend to read in the past, and what do I read now? What have I read by choice, and what have I been required to read? Where and how do I read? What print and digital devices, or applications, do I tend to use? How have my reading, or information consumption, practices changed over time?

You can make anything up but please make it realistic for an english learner.
