Discourse Communities and Communities of Practice

With this being such a dense and complicated reading, I want students to work through their thoughts in this discussion board. Based on the reading, I want you to do ONE of the following:

Write an initial discussion board post of 200-250 words

Regardless of what option you choose, I want you to provide a definition of discourse communities and communities of practice based on what you read in Ann Johns's article. Be as specific and precise as possible when creating your definition. Also, I want you to discuss how Johns shows how discourse communities function. You might also highlight what academic and professional communities are.

In your two peer responses, those should all be written (100-150 words) regardless of whether you're responding to a video, audio file, or writing. In the responses, illustrate what you agree with about the response, what you disagree with, and any questions a person's response raises.
