Literacy Time line


Theme: How books and Poetry influenced my early childhood

First word – “ dada”
Early childhood –
-Mom would make bubble letters of the alphabet and I would color them in. We also used to sing the ABC’s together ALL the time.
                -Mom would always read Green eggs and Ham to me (another book she red was Cinderella and I made fun of her because she would always read the characters in funny voices)
                -I wrote my book and made it out of cardboard called “the little kitten”
                -My favorite poem was mother doesn’t want a dog in a poem book
                - I spent most of the day playing Sega games. Following the dialog helped me learn how to spell and what not.
                -In 2nd grade, we always had spelling quizzes
                -Had to do a lot of book reports
-My teacher assigned a book that we had to read silently in class, then she would call us up one by one to read it out loud and it would record on a tape recorder. She then played it back to our parents at the parent teacher conference to show our progress.
-In 3rd grade we had to write a fictional story and I based mine off of “Snow white and the seven dwarves” And later got a writing award for it.
-In 4th grade I tried to join a poetry club. I had to memorize 3 short poems, but I only got around to memorizing two poems.
                -In 5th grade, we would play jump rope, and sing rhymes that have to do with saying the alphabet or little songs.
-I also started to learn the basics of an essay (5 paragraphs)
-I danced for 7 years. Learned to keep a beat and learned the lyrics of the songs. I also had to keep count in my head,
Middle school –
                -I got a MySpace without my dad’s permission – got into a lot of trouble.
                -I used it anyway and wrote all the time to my friends and posted comments.
                -I really started to like reading books in my spare time

High school –
-Reading/writing was my highest score on the ACT
- Wrote my first research paper
Ending:
A hope for the future

  1. I like how you set up the outline from birth to now and that you are on the right track with this and your paper should be good just give good details. I also find it cool that you danced for 7 years and played sega games :)
