9/8/06: EXPLORING THE GENRE I

Today, you will be working in groups, and in the process discovering one of the other applications of the class blog--a record of your in-class activities.

DON'T make a separate blog entry for each person in the group. There should be only one blog entry per group. Ask someone to volunteer--or nominate someone--to serve as the group note taker. S/He will record the group's answers in the blog on her/his own name, and post the answers to the blog 5-10 minutes before the end of class.

Before posting the blog, make sure to put the names of all the group members into the post.
________________

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Look over the project 1 samples again, and talk in the group about the FIELD ("contents and objectives"), the TENOR ("social roles of and relationships between the participants"), and the MODE ("communication aspects"). Record your findings and your disagreements on the blog.

Good luck!
