For Monday, Read Tony Mirabelli's "Learning to Serve: The Language and Literacy of Food Service Workers" (WAW 538). Then choose one of the following prompts to respond to:
1. Mirabelli begins his article quite differently from the ways in which the other authors in this chapter begin. What is different about it? What are the rhetorical effects of the way he begins? What can you infer from it about his intended audience(s) and purpose(s)?
2. What seems to be Mirabelli's research question (what is he trying to discover by doing the ethnography?) and where does he state it? What kind of data did he collect to analyze the diner discourse community? What seem to be his primary findings in answer to his research question?
300 words to your blogs before class Monday (5/21).
