Make infographic using https://www.canva.com/create/infographics/ that is designed to teach a newcomer how to become a member of that community. (Talk about baking community) Use any template from https://www.canva.com/create/infographics/ to make infographic Infographics are a major genre within technical and professional writing. They’re used to share a bit of important information in a really accessible and easy to digest way. The audience for infographics are generally not captive, not predisposed to listen. As a result, public facing technical writing needs to capture that audience. This differs from academia where we have teachers who are a captive audience. Additionally, we will be using this as an opportunity to apply some of the theory we read. The theory of discourse is very useful because it helps us understand how communication works in different communities. Discourse helps us see our own communicative practices that have become second nature and therefore invisible. It also helps us think about who we are writing to, what their expectations are, and how we might convince them or exert force on them. Questions you might consider before creating the Infographic: What topics of discussion, issues, problems, or concerns keep these communities together? And what constitutes new knowledge for your group? Is it created experimentally, through discussion, or through a combination of these two and other methods? How would you characterize the kinds of language which each of these communities use? Is it formal, informal, complex, simple, and so on? How are the community’s reasons for existence you listed in the first question reflected in their language? When you entered into the community, did you have to change your discourse, both oral and written, in any way, to be accepted and to participate in the discussions of the community? Does your community or group produce any written documents? These may include books, professional journals, newsletters, and other documents. What is the purpose of those documents, their intended audience, and the language that they use? How different are these documents from one community to the next? How often does a community you belong to come into contact with other intellectual and discourse groups? What kinds of conversations take place? How are conflicts and disagreements negotiated and resolved? How does each group adjust its discourse to hear the other side and be heard by it? Include a link to an image (or attach an image) that explains elements of a Discourse
