Is our class a big D discourse community?
Mike: had pauses in his voice, low voice, looked at teacher while talking, used language such as; observe, watch, and interview.
Deanna: talked in a low voice, looked at teacher while talking. Languaged used; compare
Chris: not a lot of pauses in his speaking, looks at professor while talking, uses hands when talking. Language used; analyze
Dr. Chandler engaged the students in conversation asking them different questions about their projects, she also looked around the room at the rest of the students to see if we had any imput we could give to Mike, Deanna, or Chris. Some of the studetns answered and looked at the perspective student when giving them options on what to do and how to add something to their project. the students that weren't called on were looking striaght ahead at the Professor or at the student who blog was up on the projector.
While this was going on I was thinking about ways I could help them improve their projects but I couldn't think of anything so I kept my hand down. It was difficult to concentrate on the conversation going on while I was trying to take notes of what everyone in the class was doing.
