Week 9 - October 21

Work on Essay 3 - Discourse Community Ethnography.


Here are some other ideas to keep you writing if you are stuck:
* Tell a story, not just a list of characteristics
* Pick a time of conflict or disagreement and use that to ground your observations
* How do you interact and fit in this community?  What pieces of your "identity kit" do you use?
* Don't just say "it impacted my life".  Give us examples of what that looks like.  That can stretch beyond the discourse community.
* Has anything happened in the community and your interaction within the community that has caused a conflict within your own belief/value system or that has challenged/changed/strengthened/brought to question your own beliefs or values?  What did you do?  How did you navigate that tension?  That is always an interesting idea to draw from that often results in excellent writing.

Looking Forward:
