Dear Dr.Arnold
When It is my first day at class and you talked and gave information
about literacy narrative, my brain was frozen and I was hearing you
speaking English directly to the student, but all what my mind can process
that you are speaking gibberish, and that is because it was my first time
to hear about this topic, not to mention that I had completed the last level
of the (English Language Training Institute) ELTI program, so I become
more curious to learn and write about this type of essays, then you
provided the class with the first assignment about literacy narrative, and I
was confused what topic should I write about, I had a lot of topics in my
mind, so I had to approach to you to discuss my situation about the verity
of the topics, after that you offered me some really amazing advices that
took me to the point of what I want to write about. Moreover, I wrote
almost 830 word about my passion with sport games, and how my father
and my older brother inspired me to become a great player, furthermore
this effort I spend on literacy narrative essay, improved my way of
thinking as a writer, and taught me that writing about my passion could
make me see my life in the present time and how much I can develop it
and make it superior in the future. However, the turning point was when
we created the altered Book literacy narrative, it was a hard challenge for
me, because I asked myself thousand times how can I convert something I

wrote about my passion into something more colorful with more paintings
and pictures and displayed to you, then a strange idea jump to my mind
which was reading and comprehending my essay again, and at the same
time matching every important sentence with a drawing or pictures that
can showcase what event happened and how it happened, also I became
to a point where I ran out of ideas and I did not know what I should add
more, but the group revision that you did in the class was very helpful to
me, because I introduce my ideas to my classmate, and they gave me a
lot of comments and feedback that helped me expand and improve my
altered book and take it to the next level, not to mention that this project
taught me that literacy narrative it is not about putting some word
together, it is about how can I showcase my passion in more than one way
art and words. Additionally the writing genres analysis assignment, which
is the assignment that help me to improve my writing skills and take it to
the next level, by thinking how to analyze a specific idea, topic, game, and
program. The analysis process of the genre had many complicated stages,
how this genre used and who is using what it accomplish, and a lot of
stages to break this genre to pieces, and every stage of the this process
had an enormous information that helped me search and watch a videos
or even read a book to reach that information and that is what makes me
enhance my skills and abilities on writing. Eventually each one of these
assignments helped me develop my skills in a different way and helped
me to involve more with class activities and shows me how others
perspectives can be a great help to cultivate a creative ideas.
