Name some discourse communities in which you consider yourself a member.

Pick a discourse community—What would it say about your artifact? What would you say intern? Where do you place yourself in this conversation—challenging your community, or agreeing? Can you find a real story about something like this?

What would someone outside of your discourse community need to know in order to understand what you are saying about it and you? How has your relationship to this discourse community changed since you were young? Could you give us a small, day-in-the-life example (i.e., microcosm)?
