Discussion 1: How do groups function? How does work get done in these groups? How does that work contribute to the definition and accomplishment of the group's purposes? How does writing affect the processes of work and interaction in these groups?

These are a few of the major questions you might answer in the process of composing your final essay for this course. You third essay will be an activity analysis. What that means, basically, is that you will analyze an activity system* (such as a club, a local sports team, a worship group, a local business, etc.) in order to make a major claim or provide a major insight about some aspect of your chosen activity system, preferably in relation to its textual tools. One way to do this is to focus on the use(s) or implications of specific genres of writing or other textual tools in the system (basically, how writing is used in or affects the system). It could also mean that your essay will focus on a problem that exists between components of the system and how the members of that system attempt to solve that problem. Or it might mean that your essay will focus on how values and authority are created, affirmed, or questioned in the system, possibly including how the system's use of writing demonstrates this process. In any case, your finished essay should analyze and make a claim about your chosen activity system in some focused manner.
