Literacy Memoirs involving Students in Meaningful Writing

Writing should not only be seen as a requirement to pass a grade, but also as a meaningful way to express themselves, their wills, their joys, sorrows, experiences, curiosities, etc. so it is important that they have no reluctance to write and show a significant progress while doing it. Literacy memoir is a very clever way to help students improve their skills of writing and speaking.
Literacy was understood as the ability to read and write, but nowadays this concept has changed in the way it also implies the competence to carry out complex tasks using reading and writing, it is a social activity that uses symbolic systems to represent the world to ourselves through the language.
Reading and writing are closely related as they both share similar linguistic and cognitive elements, they compose, plan (setting goals and prior knowledge), draft, align, revise, and monitor. So every one has a very deep influence on the other, as good writers tend to be better readers, good writers tend to read more frequently, and despite writing itself does not tend to influence reading comprehension, it does when it is taught for the purpose of enhancing reading as reading experiences have as great an effect on writing as direct instructions.
A Memoir is ‘like a window into a life’ students show a part of them through writing so it is a more accurate process and they develop their skill in a very meaningful way. And also, they have the opportunity to learn through a cooperative team, as they use their classmates to check their work before they type and print it. It is a very good and interesting way to teach them, and I am trying to apply this concept to my own teaching experience, it has worked pretty well.
