Class Notes: November 13, 2013

Topics in Class

• D/discourse
• literacy
• context
• genre
• culture
• power
• technology
• language
• aquisition
• conventions of appropriateness
• modes (ways of communication)
• textual media
• academic D/discourses

– literacy  is contextual + dependent on Discourses + proper grammar (set of rules that people agree on)

– there is no formula for writing

– no set way to communicate

– composition & writing is very fluid, doesn’t seem  like there is a concrete way of looking and understanding it

Portfolio needs to show how we relate to everything we’ve learned and looked at ^-Show growth and struggles

*Adaptation? taking one form into another, reading Shakespeare –> an actual play. Take a concept or piece of work from the class and putting it into another form.

try to incorporate and hit on every topic  ^ find a way to tie everything together and just bring everything into one idea

don’t necessarily address the audience as incoming uncc students, just a more general student
