Stories that Speak to Us

"We don’t always know what literacy experiences they bring to the classroom; we don’t know how or why they learn best; we don’t always know what identities they have forged for themselves as literate individuals, and we don’t know how these identities might affect the instruction we provide."

I liked this paragraph in the last assigned article. Students, and people in general, all learn so differently. This acknowledges and verifies this clearly. This was a fun article, because again, it was more personal. When telling stories of ourselves, we are sharing our history. But we can also become whoever we want to be. Personal narratives give us this opportunity.
