In “Learning to Read”, Malcolm X shares how from jail, he taught himself to not only read, but to become a scholar of history, religion, and politics and was therefore able to enter into and become a leading voice in the conversation around race and equality in the United States.
While there are many systemic reasons why he may have not learned strong reading skills prior to prison, for this essay, I would like to focus on the characteristics Malcolm X exhibited in order to learn to read. In other words, what kinds of intrinsic qualities did he need to develop in order to help keep himself focused on his goal of reading? Did he move from a fixed to a growth mindset? Did he demonstrate self-efficacy, grit, purpose, or qualities of an academic mindset?
To fully answer these questions, be sure to include:
An overview of how Malcolm X taught himself to read, and what motivated him to do so.
Which characteristics he demonstrated (e.g. growth mindset, self-efficacy, etc.) that you believe helped him to learn to read (note: while you might believe he exhibited many if not all of the qualities we studied, for this assignment, you might want to select the top 2-3 you believe benefitted him most).
An extended definition of each characteristic you choose to include.
Examples from the text that illustrate your ideas (e.g. if you select to use grit, what are examples from “Learning to Read” that illustrate (show) Malcolm X being gritty + an explanation of why you think it is an example of grit).
