Gee uses multiple key terms frequently
throughout his work. The man term he uses is ‘discourse’. Other terms that frequented
his text, included language and social. All these terms intertwine in a
specific way. The main term that is connected to these key words is discourse.
The definition Gee uses specifically for this term is that discourse is a “socially
accepted association among ways of using language, of thinking, and of acting
that can be used to identify oneself as a member of a socially meaningful group
or social network.” This connects to our class work with genre, audience, etc.
because it talks about identifying oneself to a specific group.
For project
two, I am interested in looking at Marine Biology. Many aspects of biology go
into this group. For someone to identify themselves with the group, they must
have a biological background with a love for the sea. Many professionals in
this group understand biological terms, as well as things about the sea and
what lives there. Marine biology interests me because that is what I would like
to have as a career in later years. I love the ocean and have grown up on the beach
my whole life so it has been a passion of mine to work with or by the ocean. This
interest in Marine Biology will help me in my research for my paper because it
is a subject I have a passion for. I am excited to research what type of people
come from a Marine Biology career and what they offer to this world.
