Coming into Unit 2, I am looking forward to discovering the reactions of people to breaking the “writing/language” constraints that society has placed. I became introduced to new genres already, for example, sidewalk chalk writing. This particular form of writing is normally used for letting people know about events on campus. In Unit 2, this can be challenged by asking: how would people react if they saw sidewalk chalk writing outside of a grocery store or mall telling about an event on a college campus? What if the sidewalk chalk writing was informing us about a whale that died instead of the next frat party? These are the things that I am looking forward to discovering in Unit 2. This is particularly interesting because of the norm that we as a society set, but there is no real “proper” way of doing things. I am also excited about Unit to because we are starting to work in groups now and come up with a research project in which we challenge those writing/language constraints. My understanding of how writing can be expressed in many ways has also grown since Unit 1. Unit 2 seems very interesting and this is something I am looking forward to! : )
