Instagram post 2340345727404583449_4617441784 Textual Lineage. 📚💡⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Scholastic defines textual lineage as “a reading and writing autobiography which shows that who you are is in part developed through stories and information you’ve experienced.” ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ The following questions/prompts might help your students tap into their textual lineage:⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ✨Name a text that influenced you in some way. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ✨When and where did you first read the text?⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ✨ Explain how the text made you feel or actions you took because of the text. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ✨ What from the text do you still carry with you today?⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ✨ Did the text encourage you to learn about a certain topic? Explain. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ So many books have contributed to my textual lineage. It’s impossible to try and list them all, but the ones that stand out include The Power of One, Angela’s Ashes, The Color Purple, Four Agreements, Diary of Anne Frank, Narrative of Frederick Douglass...⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ What are some books that have contributed to your textual lineage? ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #literacymatters #literacy #tolerance #textuallineage #textconnections #teachersofig #teachersofinstagram #teachergram #teachingtolerance #teacherlife @teaching_tolerance
