“The main convention of an education narrative is to have a clear picture of what you are trying to express and to also know your audience well”. This I got from one of my colleagues and I just have to agree with this so much. To know your audience well relates to the ability of genre awareness, one of the main things is good writers are aware of their audience and purpose and genre awareness help us meet the expectations of our audience. In an education narrative, a writer is to write bout past experiences with the ability to not trying to remember exactly what happened. To basically be honest that you don’t remember as much about it, being worried that you’re not going to remember as much when you write makes it more difficult. A place to get started with your own education narrative is to write about an true experience in your life you encountered. I feel that would be a great first step, questions and concerns will be if my narrative is unbiased to others, when I write I want to always connect to my audience and not make it boring. What I’m writing about I want them to have similar experiences and for them to totally understand whatever I’m expressing. The most recent educational experience I had was related to understanding genre and also reading like a writer, I learned things about this new form of reading I would be interested in and hopefully my writing would progress going forward. In message to my colleagues and Professor Cole, feel free to share your thoughts from this or point out things to boost my knowledge on this topic, your feedback would be helpful.
