On Tuesday our writing group met at Atkins to work on our Midterm project. At first we were a little unsure of what kind of piece of writing we should use, but after talking to some of the other groups we decided on a piece from the Charlotte Observer about how the town of Belmont has a growing bike culture.
After deciding on our piece, we went to go make a photocopy of it, which ended up being more difficult than we thought it would be. But once we finally got our piece copied we all sat down to read over the article and write in our day books. I think we were all able to make great connections with the article and our literacy narrative's. The idea of how culture can affect us and our writing was a major topic, and it was interesting to see what the rest of my group got out of it. All of our ideas about the article were pretty different.
Since my literacy narrative is about how different languages have affected me as a writer and thinker, I chose to talk about how different cultures could also affect us. I said that growing up in a small town like Belmont would be pretty different from how I grew up here in Charlotte. I connected this to my literacy narrative by talking about how people who live in different places around the world might have completely different ideas about literacy and experiences with writing based on how their culture perceives and handles writing.
