Essay 2 (20 points total) Background: Rebekah Nathan, Gee, and Johnstone

Essay 2 (20 points total) Background: Rebekah Nathan, Gee, and Johnstone share a common theme. Each researcher studies community membership, but each of their writings has a different approach. Rebekah Nathan attempts to study a community from the outside-in by using interviews and personal observations. Gee uses his own examples and research to provide an explanation of what it means and how to be a member of a community. Finally, Johnstone discusses how community membership is established and communicated to members and nonmembers (insiders and outsiders) of various communities. For this next project, you’ll need all three readings to introduce a community, explain what about their practices and values makes them unique, how they communicate membership, and how you feel as an insider or outsider! Assignment: For this project, observe a group closely enough to do both of the below steps:● Step 1: Construct a microprofile of an on-campus Big-D Discourse community (3-4 pages)● Step 2: After presenting the microprofile, respond to the group’s practices and explain your own experience studying this group (1-2 pages) Requirements:● Use standard MLA page settings and appropriate in-text and works cited citation methods● Use Rebekah Nathan, Gee, and Johnstone creatively as “spice” to your essay, rather than using them as a distraction● The essay should be a minimum of four pages and a maximum of 6 (not including your works cited page) Getting Started on Step 1: When studying your chosen Discourse community, try to separate your own personal feelings as you take detailed notes regarding rhetorical moves that clearly indicate community membership. Look for patterns in the way they address one another, their individual and group behaviors, dress, linguistic choices, meeting structure, group participation, system of values, reason for meeting, etc., Getting Started on Step 2: If you aren’t sure how to begin writing Step 2, consider what experiences or thoughts you had while interacting with the group: were they easy to observe? Did their behaviors meet your expectations? If they didn’t approach you first, what choices did you have to make when deciding how (or how not) to interact with the group? Is this a group you would like to engage with more frequently? Why/why not? Important dates: November 3: Rough draft (1 point) November 10: Full Draft Workshop – bring two printed copies of your complete essay for your peers, and bring one printed copy of your essay’s first page for me (3 points) November 17: Final Draft with all previous notes/drafts stapled behind it or placed in an envelope/folder (16 points) Essay 2 (20 points total) Background: Rebekah Nathan, Gee, and Johnstone share a common theme.
