This weeks blog assignment focuses on our discourse community and how we explore different types of writing.
We were asked to look at for different readings and compose a poem for each. The readings we looked at were; To you I Belong, Our Discourse Community Values, What is Literacy ? , and We are Many. This week in class we looked at all four readings and made poems with lines from the readings. These type of poems are known as found poems. The first found poem I created was from the text To you I Belong by Becky Thomson. This story talks all about how everyone is the same but different. We all face happy times as well as bad times in our lives all the time. Becky Thomson talks about how its okay to face difficult times. Lives are connected through history,experience,love and hardship Memories can be imprinted on the body,on stones,trees,in taste,scend and sounds transmitted in dreams,rituals,and visions Explore our own memories so we can welcome awareness Making room for difficult feeling attached to memory is not easy Including grief that often masquerades as anger That past is within us in the present A place of connection and joy Belonging The second poem was made from the text, Our Discourse ommunity which gave us the inspiration on what our class is truly about. IT also gives us the idea of what a discourse community is and how we can make our class stronger in that way. We are connected through a community writing as a traveling journey composing throughout multiple journeys clarifying meaning for oneself connecting our past, present and future in history and in writing communicating to an audience we have created a discourse community My third poem poem is created from the text, What is Literacy? This is a challenging piece to read but it gave me the opportunity tolearn about literacy at a different level. it is a piece of folk wisdom that is part of what linguistics do is define words let me begin by giving technical meaning to an older term which already has multiple meanings discourse is an identity kit this has multiple values and view points within sometimes we don't speak ingroups but we will talk to individuals

I see you have made the choice to use found poetry as a genre for analysis. I appreciate the use of topic sentences to organize and contextualize each found poem. I noticed the Neruda poem is missing. What are your thoughts there?

I also chose a found poem as a genre for my interpretation, so it was very interesting to find both similarities and differences between mine and yours.

I enjoyed seeing how each of your found poems were connected with each other as they all share the same theme and spirit of the discourse community. Great blog post!
