New Unit (Mar. 15)

Stories are a narrative event, can teach lessons, can be written or passed down orally. I think oral rhetorical practices is oral tradition and oral history combined as one. Oral tradition are messages that are passed from generation to generation. Oral history is taking information from someone else to learn about their opinion about their history either through song or speech. We use this to learn more about someone history and to learn how someone felt about what they were going through. Academic discourse is language use in schools. It is used by professors, students, etc. Shared beliefs about values and techniques in the academic community. We use it when talking to professors or students. Academic discourse should be changed in writing so it can be related to everyone and it is more real.
