Assignment Prompt
Compose a brief narrative (a written essay of 700-800 words) that explains how you use language in two different social settings from your everyday life. Your narrative essay should discuss and analyze specific examples of language use (think, quotations) in relation to detailed descriptions of your audience, social context, and purpose as a speaker/writer at the time. Make sure to discuss how your use of language (style, choices, strategies, etc.) is similar and/or different in each social situation.
You will want to describe your language use with as much relevant detail as possible (think, a snapshot). Potential social settings might include home, work, social media, religious institutions, social clubs or hobby groups. Potential examples of language use might include snippets from conversations, song lyrics, books, or your own writing.
In addition to identifying and analyzing your own language use in two settings, you will be asked to reflect on your own attitudes toward language use, and how we might productively question those attitudes. Guiding questions for this reflection include:
What language attitudes and biases have I realized that I hold? Where, or from whom, might I have learned those attitudes and biases?
When have I judged someone based primarily on their style of speaking or writing? What stereotypes and assumptions might have contributed to that judgement?
When and where have I experienced insecurity about my own speech or writing? What societal assumptions and attitudes might contribute to that insecurity?
How can we resist language prejudice in our day-to-day lives?
The target audience for this narrative essay is yourself.
Your personal language analysis is due TUES, Sept. 12th, before the start of class. Note: All written work must be typed and double-spaced. Pages should be numbered.
Purpose
Through this project, you will reflect on the role of language in your everyday life by analyzing how you use language in different settings, what your attitudes and biases toward language are, and how we might resist linguistic prejudice. In addition to seeing how this class relates to your own life, and giving your instructor an introduction to your own writing style, you will return to this project at the end of the semester as you prepare for the reflective essay. As you write this project, you will be introduced to these learning outcomes:
Reflection: analyze your own writing process; demonstrate critical awareness of the rhetorical uses of different kinds of English
Writing: develop strategies for composing a personal narrative essay
Revision: use a writing process that involves multiple steps and analysis of your rhetorical choices
