Don't forget about the blog post tomorrow: Read John Swales' "The Concept of Discourse Community." After reading, respond to the following prompt: Consder a discourse community you belong to, and describe how it meets the six characteristics of a discourse community as proposed by Swales. For example, what are it shared goals? What is its lexis? What are its genres?
300 words to your blogs before class Tuesday. Bring in a print-out or written copy of your post as we'll be discussing possible discourse communities you might examine for the final project.
