The Trajectories of Literate Activity

Here are the questions to consider for the first part of class on Wednesday, February 15:

•How did the text begin and how did it move out into the world?

•What other genres (generally) or specific examples of genres did you use to inform/understand your production?

•Who read it?

•Who do you anticipate might read it in the future?

•Who might those readers do with the text?

•How might the text be stored, or disseminated to others?

•What new kinds of texts (if any) could the ideas be used to create?

•What cultural institutions or organizations (if any) does the text help to support or challenge?
