Writing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25cf Ocean Vuong\u2019s Surrendering<\/p>\n
\u25cf Gee\u2019s Literacy and Discourse Linguistics<\/p>\n
Writing Objectives:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Put different forms of essays in conversation with each other<\/p>\n
\u25cf Successfully analyze and interweave quotes in writing<\/p>\n
\u25cf Critically investigate the formation of communities<\/p>\n
What to do:<\/p>\n
We have spent the last few weeks discussing the formation of a community through<\/p>\n
both personal and academic channels. We\u2019ve read both creative and academic works<\/p>\n
discussing what it takes to \u201cfit into\u201d a community, so now I\u2019m asking you to take this a<\/p>\n
step further. How do the pieces we\u2019ve read inform Gee\u2019s idea of a Discourse<\/p>\n
Community? Your task is to take at least two of the pieces I listed above and discuss<\/p>\n
how they work in conjunction with Gee\u2019s Discourse community. This is an opportunity<\/p>\n
for you to take multiple different readings and put them in a conversation with each<\/p>\n
other. What would Gee say about Vuong\u2019s classroom experience? How would your<\/p>\n
classmates feel about McKinney\u2019s elevation of the word \u201cI\u201d in college writing?<\/p>\n
To summarize: the goal of this piece is to help you establish your expertise in joining<\/p>\n
the discourse community of Composition. Use the pieces we have read throughout the<\/p>\n
semester so far to analyze Gee\u2019s discussion of discourse communities, and report on<\/p>\n
the potential difficulties of accessing a discourse community and how to work around<\/p>\n
them. As a disclaimer, the words of the more successful scholars we\u2019re reading are<\/p>\n
important, but I\u2019m trusting your words as well. Utilize the readings to help you make<\/p>\n
your point, but know that you don\u2019t just have to \u201cagree\u201d with one of the readings and<\/p>\n
tell me why. I want to hear your analysis.<\/p>\n
How to do it:<\/p>\n
This assignment can absolutely be completed in a 5 page academic essay in which<\/p>\n
you discuss how to enter and work within a discourse community. This essay should<\/p>\n
contain well-integrated quotes or paraphrases from the readings listed above.<\/p>\n
Combinate the essay with discourse community and diagnostic essay in the attachment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
