- I full understand Gee’s concepts, I can see how Building Tasks can be related to anything in literature, in addition, I can see Discourse in everyday life. Haas, I am having more trouble with. With paper 2 I am having difficulty relating Haas to anything besides the Eliza experiment and how the study was made in the IMRAD format. Other than that I cannot seem to make overall connections no matter how much I read the paper.
- I think I have good quotes to help strengthen my points. I feel that the quotes I used when talking about the Eliza experiment brought in a visual of how Eliza grew as a student. The whole study was to watch her grow and I think quoting on the face that she did not realize how she was growing really showed the depth of the experiment. Haas was learning things about Eliza that not even Eliza knew.
- I am having a lot of trouble with the results and discussion paragraph of the essay. I can only seem to relate it to Gee’s Building Task of connections. At the end of the study, the results are what we have. And in the discussion, we connect everything from the experiment and relate it to the real world. I can see the connection between Haas’s study and this one building Task but not any other.
- I believe my analysis will show that the science Discourse is extremely thorough and everything has to be thought out. Experiments can wield many results, including results that thought of by scientists in the first place. I also believe my analysis will show how important observation is, the root of the scientific method and basis for all discovery.
