Literacy Timeline

Literacy Timeline

My first word was _______.

In kindergarden my class and I began how to write in cursive

At home I watched Sesame Street all the time and learned words from the television

When I was in 4th Grade I wrote my first book and read it aloud at my uncles wedding, a book about his son.  It was a hard cover book.

In elementary school my dad forced my brothers and I to keep a journal, about our "thoughts" but he would read our journals so what was written was a limited amount to my true feelings towards life

Junior year in high school I took a creative writing class which helped me become the writer I am today

Sometimes when with friends we have cyphers on rare occasions where we rap for each other

Sometimes if I'm in "the zone" I will write down lyrics that I make up in my head and jot them down in my iPhone

I always disliked reading but  liked reading the Michigan Chillers when I was younger

I learned how to spell "independent" from a song by webbie, i learned how to spell "bananas" from a song called Holla Back by Gwen Stephani

Music introduced me to many of the words I know today, as well as how to use them

I don't read books in my free time, but i do look at blogs and tweets
