Week 2: Discourse Community

There’s a lot of material to read and digest in the Agenda section of the website, so I’m going to be brief. You need to read this first!

Without looking it up (we’re on the honor system here), define Discourse Community. Scribble it down on paper or open a document and write it down.

Okay.

Now, look it up. Type it in a search engine: “discourse community.” Put the quotes around it to be sure you are looking for the exact term.

So…was your initial thought correct or totally wrong?

If this is something brand new, don’t worry–I didn’t know what the %@#$ a discourse community was until two years ago, and I’m way older than y’all! If this sounds familiar to you, bring your knowledge to class and share it. It’s always good to hear what folks have learned (or remember) about any topic.

So, that’s what we’re going to be reading and writing about this coming week. So, now go to the Agenda and review the material. Be sure to do the reading before class!
