Weekly outline

 
 
 

25 January - 31 January

In a well-organized essay of approximately two to three pages, answer the following questions:

Tannen, Kingston, and Ehrlich describe communities or groups with which you may be somewhat unfamiliar. These writers invite you to see the “inside story” with fresh eyes. They complete stories that may be only partially understood. Is there a community or group that you would argue also needs to be better understood? How is it typically understood, and what are the hidden realities that need to be made known? Does the group have a distinctive language style, use specific culturally valued objects, or dress in particular ways that communicate their feelings about one another or beliefs about the social world? Use specific details and examples drawn from your own experience or your observations of others.
