Starting Chosen Discourse Project

For this project the possible examples that I would be interested in presenting are the discourses I am currently taken apart in. I currently am taken part in multiple discourses such as the discourse of track and field, dental assisting, and retail worker.

The discourse of dental assisting it is a group of people that are fluent in the procedures and everyday task that need to be completed. They are able to multitask by being able to complete chairside, independent, surgical, reception, and lab task on a daily basis. There are multiple guidelines that need to be followed in order to actively do the task completely and successfully.

Sources for this discourse: The data that could be used is a the terms used daily, the DAMB book, radiology and ICE certification.

Initial Thoughts: I think this data makes sense because they are needed to show that you are fluent in this discourse. To work in a workplace you need to atleast be ICE and radiology certified. There also various terms that need to understood in order to complete task on a daily basis. There is also the data of actually working in the field to get the best idea of how it works.

The other idea I have is the discourse of track and field. This discourse is a group of people that enjoy running and participating in multiple field events. They are actively engaged people that can take part in more than one event in the duration of the meet. Sources for this discourse: For data the use of an article of track and field can be beneficial and a playbook of rules that are required.

Initial thoughts: The rules book for track and field can offer the rules and regulations that are needed in order to have a fluent meet. It also demonstrates the values that need to be shown in order to properly engage in the discourse. An article can show how fans and player voice their opinion on the discourse of track and field. Also can show some relationships between the player and fan.

The other idea of a discourse i am apart of would be the discourse of a retail worker. This is a group of people that work in sales with the community. They learn to socialize through different situations and promote certain products.

Sources for this discourse:  The data that could be used to support the discourse I am presenting is pieces of language from conversations through the interaction between customer and clients. The website of the store, handbook, or manual.

Initial thoughts: The use of a conversation piece will show the interaction between the two parties. Which shows how good the person is in the discourse, or how they differ with the way of the discourse. Also the handbook, website, or manual will show what the discourse offers to the person that is interested in the discourse. The manual and handbook will bring rise to the social goods being offered through this specific discourse.

Time on task: 50 mins (9:00-9:50)
