Richard's Literacy Autobiography
  Introduction  

 

Hello! My name is Richard Chua, and I am doing a project to explain the means by which I came to be the reader and writer that I am today. To this end, I have created a series of timelines to show my progress in by literacy journey, as well as the numerous events, both personal, educational, societal, that influenced my reading and writing development. Below are links to the lists and explanations of the various aspects that have influenced my development in this area. As a result of them, I have come to view learning, literacy, and education as a vital and powerful tool in ensuring a viable place in today's world.  I have hitherto performed at an exemplary level in all my English reading/writing pursuits.  I believe that rhetoric will further improve my skill, however, my diversifying the mediums in which I must transmit my work.  This project, for instance, is already one such example of the new skills I am certain to, and look forward to, acquiring through this class.
