The pre-writing activity was was new to me and I found it helpful in forming ideas for my literacy narrative – I realized that I had multiple ideas I could work off from. I liked how it could be free flowing without being concerned about structure.

Usually in past practice I would do two drafts – a first and a final. The recursive process for the Literacy Narrative went a couple steps further to include a second draft before the final and an in depth peer review. The specificity of this process helped to guide and result in a more through final paper, yet because my first draft was so unfocused my second draft was a totally different paper than my first. Looking back, I should have asked a peer to review my paper again; it would have been helpful in writing my final and resulted in a better final draft.
