Hello all,
Today, we had an interesting discussion about audience, issues, and the power of words in "discourse." We discussed how texts present viewpoints on issues. We also discussed the importance of knowing "who" are audience is and "who" we are as writers. This is important because each discourse community has a set understanding of who we should be and who they are.
In addition, we shifted to discuss the power of language in certain discourse communities. We really focused on how words may be used in different situations to imply different ideas. I really urge everyone to speak "up" and to speak "out" in class to help to establish our discourse community.
For Tuesday,

Kat
