4WB a

For project 4, i will pick a theme....
After taking this course in the semester, i have enlightened and gotten a new aspect of language and racial identity. we went through analysis, scholars article, discussion about whether scholars have discussed the usage of AAVE fairly; for my opinion, schools should allow AAVE in some specific course and schools should make a clear acknowledge of usage of AAVE at school, instead of having educators mark down AAVE in paper which a further confusion will arise. schools should train educators to first recognize the diversity in population as well as languages and just force kids to indotrinate to "school languages" without a fully comphrehensions. AAVE in digital spaces, AAVE at work, AAVE in Composition studies field.
i feel like the way people talk is a refleciton of their identity. technically, everyone is identified by one but culturally. so the genres i will choose to explore usage of AAVE being used by people and the way they choose to represent themselve (identities) in various setting.
theme: Identities via usages of AAVE
(print) genere 1: in digital spaces (use resource from project 2, pop, academic, company, to interpret people to represent themselves (identities) in different setting.
i will do: print conversation of these websites i lists above and with my analysis and scholars' statements
genere 2: in written context: personal journalism, individual resume, letters,
i will do: print out hardcopy of these and with my analysis and scholars' statments
I think this would be my two generes. i think the a language is composed of two pars: written and verbal. In written parts: i can break it down into personal journal, diary, a letter to friend, a letter to friend, text message, web categories online. In verbal parts: talking to friends, talking to family members, talking to elderly, talking to professors, talking to co-workers, even talking to international students who only speak SE.

for written context: i will print out hardcopies, for verbal part: i am thinking to videotape. (may i ask my friend for help, have one of my friend and i will follow him wherever he goes and people he meets, videotaping all his converstaion in different setting.

worked cited:
I will use Smitherman's students' right for their languages
Thomas: IQ and Standard English
Lisa: myth educations
Different respectives on teaching AA to write
I will have more researches to add

Videotaping my friend and follow him all day to different scenes and how they talk.----to illustrate their discursive in various verbal setting.

I have a B option----i will do videotape for project 4 including seeing him text message all the written parts i have mention before, and make it like a video in youtube (but i am a savvy tech geek, however, i think it is very creative.) or i can just turn in the tape.
