John Swales: Genre Analysis
Letter to Reader
M y learning goal of this paper was to conduct research by finding and evaluating print electronic and other sources. Also needed to generate information and ideas from research, and lastly integrating material sources. When I used what we used to communicate with my group I had to figure out how it fit with Swales characteristics of a discourse community. Its function was to inform each member about what’s going on and what’s happening with the team with our plans. I feel that I have a very little understanding of the research goal. For one appropriately integrate what I have from my sources I don’t feel I can say that I did. There wasn’t much learning rather than just doing what is asked seeing what the six ways Swales define a discourse community trying to hit every point with some edvidence.

All the hard work the each member did to learn all the new information to build a robot to come and say that we are not a discourse community is an insult that won’t be taken lightly. We were fortunate to have this opportunity with this program and has increased our knowledge and has open doors to new areas of a career for the students. I have shown that we have a goal, we have ways of members communicating, and ways that we communicate with the public. Swale argues that a discourse community has more genres to further progress, along with terms or lexis that the group knows and a few may not, and that we have levels in the
