1. Where are you already working pretty well with Gee’s concepts? How, specifically,  will you apply that more solid engagement to a specific paragraph that is not yet working so effectively with Gee (or Haas, or another text in play)?

I understand the Gee building tasks fairly well and I want to spend time connecting two or more tasks to the science Discourse. I plan on engaging the building task of identities and connecting it to the practices and values one has within the Discourse.

2. Where are you doing a pretty good job bringing in pieces of language to illustrate or support a point you’re making about how science Discourse works? Why is that working well? (Try to say what you’re doing that’s working!)

I think I am doing a decent job of using language to support my claim in my first paragraph. I am able to convey my thought process to the reader. Though now, after my writing conference, I want to rewrite that singular paragraph and have that claim be expanded to support the entire paper.

3. Turn to a paragraph that is not working so effectively with material from your artifacts. What do you need in that paragraph if it’s to become more effective?

I need to bring more “I say” into my second paragraph. I lack the application of what the quotes are saying in words to what that tells us about the science DIscourse.

4. Write 2-3 sentences that capture what you believe your analysis tells us about science Discourse. These sentences will help you identify your perspective on how science Discourse works, which will help you revise your introduction and possibly the conclusion!

Science Discourse is based on the competitiveness and lack of time within the Discourse. This concept of time has shifted the practices and values of identities within the Discourse, emphasizing time’s impact.
