For this assignment 4 (Multigenre essay project), I chose to convey about how AAVE has been treated in the composition study field especially in classrooms. The reason why I chose to talk about those themes in this assignment is that I felt that the main lesson that I get out of this course is “AAVE is not a slang or uneducated language. It is a variance of English that has grammatical or structure rules as Standard English does”. Therefore, to sum it up what I have learned in this course and talk what I have learned in this course for this assignment, I chose to talk about how AAVE has been treated in the composition study field especially in classrooms. I will draw evidence upon some of the course-required readings that related to it or some of the academic journals that I have found during this course. I feel that it would make my main theme stronger and more persuasive to the readers. The four genres that I chose to do so for this assignment are imaginative writing, personal/private writing, workplace/professional writing, and visual pieces. For imaginative writing, I chose to do a dialogue between two people talking about what students learned in classrooms with AAVE and how it has been viewed in the composition study field. For personal/private writing, I chose to do an email exchange between two people (parents and sons or daughters) talking about what sons or daughters have learned in classrooms (WRA) with AAVE and presenting what they have learned to their parents. For workplace/professional writing, I chose to do a report about how a reporter reports the issue of AAVE in the academic composition study field that one observed in the classroom. For visual pieces, I chose to find a photograph that relates to the freedom of African American students speaking AAVE in their classrooms’ discussions among students and teacher/professor. So far this is what I planned for this assignment to talk about how AAVE has been treated in the composition study field especially in classrooms.
