Here you will do a reflection on the Writing and Power outcome, which states:

 "Students will be able to critically examine and act on the relationship among identity,
literacy, language, and power".

Questions:

1. How have you thought about the way certain languages, identities and literacy skills are
portrayed in this genre of artifact?
2. How does code-switching play into this? What sort of language is valued in this artifact, or did
the genre ask you to use? Did you have to code-switch, even a little, in this scenario?

In major assignment 2 draft, I have thought on ways certain languages, identities and literacy skills were
used. One way was the displacement of how discourse communities communicate with one another.
Communities can communicate on social media, text messages, phone calls and emails to get
information to members. They could also do all of this with different languages. The sort of language
valued in this artifact is communicating on messages in English with friends/members in my discourse
community. This way we could work together and succeed in the classes that we were in. Codeswitching
comes in because we need to express ourselves through text messages. This makes us change the way
we want to portray a message by using slangs and shortened words.
