Unfortunately, these two articles did not provide a whole lot of overlap, so we'll be working with two very different topics during class. The following are not meant as lecture notes or discussion questions (sorry), but prompts for class activities.
How many articles on ethnography used as a methodology to study corporate culture in technical communication and rhetoric are there in JSTOR from January 2005 to November 2010?
*Please take detailed notes during your group’s data retrieval and report discussion.
JSTOR: www.jstor.org
Questions for the group:
1. How did you retrieve the data? What knowledge about the database did you have to learn before/while you were running the report?
2. What process did you use to select data for use in your report?
3. What rhetorical decisions, specifically, did your group discuss when composing your report?

Electronic Copyright:
Each group take a scenario. Read the original scenario and the author’s response and note the problems/complications or strengths of the interpretation. Then, skim the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998” (only section pertinent to your scenario):
http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf. Does the DMCA clarify copyright laws for the scenario? How so (or how not)?
I look forward to seeing you in class tonight.
