Reference no: EM133263506

The student will be given a passage of writing that is targeted toward a specific audience. They will then need to rewrite the passage in order to change its target audience to a different demographic, (sub)culture, or generation. They are only permitted through language choice alone and not by changing the meaning of the text they have been given.

Keep in mind that what we know as culture is a mixture of the place, people, and time period in which they live; as such, in order to change the effective culture of the original passage.

Task:

Take these two paragraphs from Vershawn Young's "Should Writers Use They Own English"

Rewrite them for an online post on social media for College students: consider the demographics of your new audience and use the language this audience would need to understand the content.

Remember that culture is a mixture of time, place, and people, so be sure to identify the original audience (people), time period, and place of the original text
Allowed to change the sentence structure, most words, and references as long as the passage retains its overall meaning
Passage 1

Besides encouraging teachers to be snide and patronizing, Fish flat out confusion (I would say he lyin, but Momma say be nice). You cant start off sayin, "disabuse yo'self of the notion that students have a right to they dialect" and then say to tell students: "Y'all do have a right." That be hypocritical. It further disingenuous of Fish to ask: "Who could object to learning a second language?" What he really mean by this rhetorical question is that the "multiculturals" should be thrilled to leave they own dialect and learn another one, the one he promote. If he meant everybody should be thrilled to learn another dialect, then wouldnt everybody be learnin everybody's dialect? Wouldnt we all become multidialectal and pluralingual? And that's my exact argument, that we all should know everybody's dialect, at least as many as we can, and be open to the mix of them in oral and written communication.

Passage 2

See, dont nobody all the time, nor do they in the same way subscribe to or follow standard modes of expression. Everybody mix the dialect they learn at home with whateva other dialect or language they learn afterwards. That's how we understand accents; that's how we can hear that some people are from a Polish, Spanish, or French language background when they speak English. It's how we can tell somebody is from the South, from Appalachia, from Chicago or any other regional background. We hear that background in they speech, and it's often expressed in they writin too. It's natural.

First: Rewrite the passages by Dr. Young for College students as a post on social media. Second an author's note analyzing your decisions.
