WRITE MY ESSAY

I have added screenshots of the assignment and a copy of the modules and readings you will need to write it. Here’s a copy of the writings: This week we focus on key terms, definitions, and ideas that motivate and inform the entirety of our class. Both namesakes of our course, talk and identity are foundational elements of everything we’re going to learn and discuss this semester. Though fairly common terms, the everyday uses of these terms can sometimes dilute their significance and minimize their complexity. Here, we’re exposing their dynamic and interrelated nature – you’ll never overlook or think of these as insignificant factors ever again! As you complete this week, pay special attention to the relationship between talk and identity and spend time considering how they are present and relevant in your own lives. The more you apply course concepts to your own life, the more you’ll be able to understand their real-world significance. This understanding will help with quizzes, writing assignments, and life after this course. Objectives
Explain the relationship between discourse practices and building identities.
Use foundational course concepts to explain the process of an interaction.

How discourse practices construct identities, and how identities influence the discourse practices you engage in. This video also discusses altercasting.
Supplemental and Example Videos VIDEO: Where are you From?Download VIDEO: Where are you From?In this video, we see an example of how talk can constrain identity and vice versa. Here, the man has very specific expectations on how the woman is expected to talk based on her identities. Consider how these kinds of expectations could impact you. How might your gender, relationships, roles, age, and so one, impact how you engage in talk?
