Rough Draft Essay 2 In the articles written by Williams and Corkery each discuss the importance of literacy narratives in the classroom. Williams believes that literacy narratives are about life lessons and previous obstacles the student may have had to face and how it has affected the student/writer they have become today. Corkery’s thoughts on literacy narratives are somewhat similar. He writes about the experiences the student may have also faced, but also how they serve to help the student overcome writing obstacles they may face in college. (Need to add thesis) Williams’ article provides information on how literacy narratives provide insights as to how a student may feel about writing and identifying what kind of writer they are.
