Purpose:<\/strong><\/p>\n Task:<\/strong><\/p>\n Study a discourse community that you are an apprentice\/novitiate member of in action. I recommend that you choose the major you have declared, or one you are interested in declaring, or academic pre-professional program, such as pre-med. (If you are a double major or if you have not yet selected a major, you should choose just one discipline to write about. The language of this assignment assumes that you will choose an academic discipline. However, you may choose a different discourse community, such as a profession or a locale, like Eugene.)<\/p>\n Present a short analysis of that discourse community. This analysis will have two parts corresponding to two key questions<\/strong>. Ask the following key questions of your chosen discourse community:<\/p>\n How you present this analysis is up to you. Feel free to get creative: a podcast, social media site, Powerpoint or Prezi presentation, a skit, etc. Or you may write up a report. It doesn\u2019t matter, as long as you include the required information and can somehow turn it in for me to see.<\/p>\n Note: You may work with a partner if you want, and if someone else chooses the same discourse community as you. Before your conference with me next week, please indicate on Canvas under Discourse Community Proposal which discourse you plan to study and whether or not you would like to work in a group. I will assign any groups based on this information.<\/p>\n Part 1:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Data Collection<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n You must collect data on this discourse community in at least the three following ways:<\/p>\n Ideally, this activity would not be one in which you are directly involved.<\/p>\n Data Analysis<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n Examine your data by asking questions such as the following:<\/p>\n <\/u><\/em><\/p>\n Planning and Writing\/Presenting<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n Given all you\u2019ll learn from your observations, consider what you want to focus on in your analysis. What\u2019s interesting? What surprised you the most about your field? What \u201csticks out\u201d from your findings? What seems most relevant to you as a novice member of this discourse community? Presenting such findings will be the main purpose of your analysis. <\/p>\n To answer the first key question, use the following parts, or make these moves:<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Part 2:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Feel free to nuance this question (For instance, What is the greatest<\/u> significance of the Anthropocene regarding your chosen discipline?<\/em>)<\/p>\n What does your major have to offer when it comes to addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene? How will the discipline need to change because of the reality of the Anthropocene? Your Essay 2 will consider the relationship of the Anthropocene to your chosen discipline (or a question within that discipline that pertains to the Anthropocene). Criteria<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Necessary inclusions by which this assignment will be considered complete:<\/p>\n Due in class Tuesday, November 6. <\/strong>You will present your findings to a small group at that time and upload your presentation into Canvas as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Purpose: To understand the audience and rhetorical situations for your writing beyond this class To identify and analyze argumentation in forms of writing used in particular communities (discipline, profession, or more specific discourse communities) To understand writing as a communal process, and writers not as isolated individuals but as part of groups-working-on-common-activities\/conversations (discourse communities) Task: […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_joinchat":[]},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163606"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163606\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualityassignments.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
