HW 9/8

WRITE: (250 Words)  So far in this unit, we have read (and heard) three examples from the genre of the “education narrative.”  Your first essay assignment in this class will be to write in this genre yourself.  So in this discussion forum, I’d like us to have a conversation about what the features of this genre are. Please discuss some of the following:

• What, from what you’ve seen so far, are the “ingredients” (also known as “conventions”) of the education narrative genre?
• What do you think might be a place to get started with your own education narrative?
• What are your questions or concerns about writing an education narrative of your own?
• If you like, you can also feel free to share an educational experience you had and ask for feedback from your colleagues (and me) to see if we think that might be a solid place to begin writing.

What i seen so far of a education narrative basically in my opinion i sort of see it as the author trying to inform the readers as well persuade the reader to have a similar thought process and/or to learn and agree with the pint he is trying to get across. I believe he does this by speaking in a certain tone and pacing himself though out the story in a certain way as well as they give examples maybe even similes to make it related to the readers to get in there heads. Sometimes they also say things to hook the readers into the point to get there attention or to make sure they get there attention if they have not already. I think a place to get started is trying to find a point you strongly agree or something you truly believe in then try to educate others on that point with out trying to write it in a argumentative form because then it would be a argumentative essay instead rather then a educational narrative. Try to make a great hook as well in the beginning as well ass the end to keep the readers intreeged.

I do have a few questions though. How do i come across as a educational narrative without offending to many people as well as coming out as respectful. As well as how pace myself to sound like im making the speach myself or directly reading to the readers for they could understand the point exactly how im trying to make it? 259 words not 408
