Project 3 Proposal

Project 3 Proposal

            I would like to do my project three on the EMT discourse community. I have several aunts that work in the field and work together. I feel like that there careers are very important to our community but there don’t get the recognition or appreciation they deserve for all that they do. And that’s why I want to do our project three on their discourse community.

What I have learned from this project is how anything could be literacy and how everyone can get different experiences or lessons out of different things or the same things. our strongest part of the project is the stories I think because the stories because there so personal. Although my weakness would be in the format of how I put it together. The changes we made in our presentation was a bit of grammar and some more visuals.

-Your text should fluctuate with the discourse community that you’re talking to. When I talk to children I would use a simpler language and calming voice, but when I talked to professors I think through what I want to say so it’s not to broad and then they understand exactly what I’m wanting to say. When it comes to the mercy of text I understand because me and one of my friend’s use to always write back and fourth but since I have such bad spelling that I had to always use small vocab and that sort, but when we talked in person I had to try and be carful to not use to big of vocab so she wouldn’t get confused and I wouldn’t be belittling her.

            Meta Moment

-I feel that they referred to authority so much in this because they kind of want you to get the concept and understanding of it. It helps for you to be more aware of your audience and your reenact with them.

Peer Review

 Peer Review for Project 2

    Your summary/synthesis switched from talking as the group then to first person. I really like the set up of it and how you have it all in order. But I think in certain parts should be longer like the conclusion and one of the story. The videos were really nice with your views but I couldn't really find how to see your survey results. I really like it though its really good.

Glee

Glee

Lisa McClain

            Summary

Glee was talking about how grammar isn’t everything.  It depends on the situation and how thing go about it. Glee uses the examples of the two women at a job inter view. He says “what is important is not language, and surely not grammar, but saying (writing)-doing-being-valuing-believing combinations.” Also we have to “hold the right values, beliefs, and attitudes”. At one point he goes on about Discourse and how it’s a “identity kit”, basically about our rules of how it all goes.

Summary

-All he basically wrote about was discourse community. What they are, the rules to be one, and all of that.

            Syntheses

-In the first paragraph of the reading does that for you, it goes through and tells you the syntheses. They even talk about Porter who we have read about.

-It gives you a idea of what you’re going to read. -Shows the understanding of life and nature of people through history. -When people see agriculture they don’t think of it as bad and abuse associated with it as the do when they see the word industry. -You see the mirroring or as in how they actually see things. -You see behind the curtains, how things are actually perceived. -This shows how they try and cover it all up. -How animals get the short end of it and the factories don’t care, but only care about the money. -This makes you worry if not wonder along the lines how far humans are willing to go and what they would sacrifice for there own greedy self’s.

-People historically have used other animals as resources. -they live with, hunt alongside, know, understand, and respect both the land and the other animals they exploit. -industry could set off environmental warning bells, whereas agriculture is generally understood as a safe, natural practice. -Piglets, if born too small, are called “runt” and are “euthanized”. -This involves, as Dunayer points out, holding a piglet by their back legs and slamming their head against the floor. -Although this is not a practice unique to factory farming the point is that calling it euthanasia hides the violence and suffering inflicted on these animals behind a euphemism that renders the practice humane or sterile. -For the factory farm, as in other corporations, the bottom line is profit. Animals’ welfare can be traded off when production rates remain high regardless animals’ poor health and living conditions. -This scenario raises considerable ethical questions about how much, as human beings, we are willing to manipulate our environment and, as important, exploit other animals for gastronomical pleasure.

            Summary

-Wysocki is showing us how we notice and take some ads some ways just as we do with beauty we take how beauty and comes in all forms.

            DQ

-No I’m not as appealed to his ad, but a guy would more likely be more interested in it then I am. I wouldn’t want to get it or probably not even want to even explore to find more out about it.

            AE

-I personally believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not “beauty is something we construct together” which is as if society forms our view on the matter. Because I feel that we all see people different it just depends on the person and not all on society’s views.

-In this quote were getting a idea of how his life transitioned and how he notices its not all about the “streets”. -This shows what all got him started, what gave him his motivation. -I feel like these sentences shoes how hard it all was for him and how big of a struggle it really was for him. -This shows how he was able to analyze the problem and how he found a solution, one that wasn’t easy but a solution none of the least. -How he has adapted and found strategies that works for him and enables him to learn it all. -The moment of triumphant and all his hard work paid off and everything seeps in. -With this it gives you a glimpse into the life he had before and what he has went through. -I like how this is showing how he went from a none educated inmate to an educated minister.

-In the street, I had been the most articulate hustler out there-I had commanded attention when I said something. But now, trying to write simple English, I not only wasn’t even functional. -When Bimbi first made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in and I had tried to emulate him. -But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well been in Chinese. -I saw that the best thing I could do was get hold of a dictionary- to study, to learn some words. -I read back, to myself, everything id written on that tablet. -I suppose it was inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first tome pock up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying. -Three or four hours of sleep a night was enough for me. Often in the years in the streets I had slept less than that. -when I became a minister of Mr. Muhammad’s.

Hook

Hook

Lisa McClain

            Summary

-This writing is all about how Hook is trying to go through her memories of her past to try and to move on from it. But through the proses she realizes that some she cant recall that well and might be fiction. Through it all she does realize things about herself and her past.

            Before Reading

-I would start with the simple facts about myself name, where I was born, and that sort, then go on from there. My life is so boring that I wouldn’t know where to take it next. But personally I don’t think I have read a autobiography though.

QD

-Bio-mythography is were you get confused about the actual facts or just memories that are false. I feel as it is one because she was trying to recall her memories and sort through if they were completely accurate of not.

-In the beginning she just wants to let go of her old self and move on to her new life and new self. I do feel like she kept up with her goal through her writing and so much more because she realized and learned so much more then she ever realized she would.

-Brandt proves her point with examples and explains how good can come from it all even to the sponsor themselves. I also agree with this because when a teacher helps you with something like another language, then you get it there so happy. Or when they do something that will make a difference like teaching someone to read it’ll become so much to them later and they will be able to look back on that. Even something like teaching a child to tie their shoes, when they see the child get it down and light up it makes it all worth it.

           

Applying and Exploring Ideas

-With the book restriction in my school, my teachers told us what we had to read for what project but by all means they never said we cant read certain things that I know of… If anything if you would read it was highly approved because no one really ever read and it would strengthen there reading skills.
