Applying West's Article.

Reading Kathleen West's article reminded me a whole lot of our own class. It was an interesting analysis that she conducted on her own students, allowing her to examine the social languages in each blog. Her study focused on the idea of "social language" and how it exhibited their identities, so I think I may define the term and integrate it towards my paper. I picked option two because I think I can write a better paper with the prompt and it might lead me to conduct my own little analysis like West's towards a new blog that fits my liking.

  1. I agree. I think define the term "social language" is a great topic for doing a research paper. It may bring out more new ideas to you because different blogs may have different identities by using the social language. BTW, would u like to work with me as a group?
