Learning Goal: I’m working on a science multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
For this assignment, you will need to draft an ethnographic narrative about two distinct discourse communities. You may begin by describing the general customs of your two communities, but this ethnography should primarily focus on the communication practices of the communities under investigation. Swales’ six criteria for defining a discourse community are a strong resource to draw upon for your ethnography, but the shape and content of this ethnography will be entirely up to you to decide.
