Wisdomfulls!

Show your deeper understanding of theory today by creating a post to inform readers (your peers) about either Dominance, Difference or Deficit and/or another gender theory of your choice that allows you to do the analytical task described in the bullet points below.

You should include (not necessarily in this order):

• an accessible (straightforward? funny? colloquial?) description of the theory
• the techniques associated with these ways of speaking
• examples of these techniques in spoken texts (made up or quotes/transcript excerpts)
• show how these techniques could be applied to real written texts (represented speech but also written texts that 'speak' to the reader e.g. adverts, advice colums, comment articles etc. - this is the most important part as it will likely not be a transcript on the paper this year and you should analyse several examples from different forms)
• Don't forget to include a bibliography and don't ever cut and paste theory into these blogs - transform it so you show you understand it (good practice for A2 coursework too)

This could be finished today if you work really hard and efficiently but must be finished by next Friday so I can look at them after moderation week (bear in mind how much work there is for moderation week!). The key to finishing on time is to find texts quickly and really focus.
