This week as I was writing my literacy narrative I realized a lot about myself as a reader and writer. I used a lot of the reading as a reader and writing as a reader skills. I am still struggling on my conclusion though. I cannot seem to come up with a way to transition from my story to my conclusion without saying "That went on until ____". Another thing I'm struggling with is helping the reader understand things that really only I would understand. Its hard for me to imagine that someone else couldn't understand, but I have to step back and think, they weren't there. They aren't me.
On the other hand, there are many things that I'm excited about! I'm really happy with the vivid detail that I used in the story. I am also happy with the way my paragraphs flow, al but the conclusion. I really like my story too. The questions I have are..
Should I make my conclusion short or long?
Is it okay to have a pretty long story?

Hi, Katie! The vivid detail in your story is very good! I'm also having trouble coming up with a way to transition from the story to the conclusion. Maybe we could work together to figure this out.
