Multiple Text Genres and Discourse Multiple Text Genres and Discourse CommunitiesCommunities
– Discourse as the ways that we use language, which reflect our beliefs about, values we hold, and practices in the world, which get enacted in language (Gee, 1996)
– Discourses (both the language and the uses of language) differ in different disciplines
– Discourses differ in and out of school– Discourses differ from culture to culture or
social group to social group– Moje, Collazo, Carrillo, & Marx, 1999

Genre and Discourse TeachingGenre and Discourse Teaching
• Expose students to texts that present disciplinary concepts in different ways (scientific or research reports, fiction, news media, television, and movies)
• Engage students in writing and reading disciplinary concepts in the different genres and for different discourse communities

Serotonin Transporter Genetic Variation and the Response of the Human AmygdalaAhmad R. Hariri,1 Venkata S. Mattay,1 Alessandro Tessitore,1 BhaskarKolachana,1 Francesco Fera,1 David Goldman,2 Michael F. Egan,1 Daniel R. Weinberger1* A functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the human serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) has been associated with several dimensions of neuroticism and psychopathology, especially anxiety traits, but the predictive value of this genotype against these complex behaviors has been inconsistent. Serotonin [5- hydroxytryptamine, (5-HT)] function influences normal fear as well as pathological anxiety, behaviors critically dependent on the amygdala in animal models and in clinical studies. We now report that individuals with one or two copies of the short allele of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) promoter polymorphism, which has been associated with reduced 5-HTT expression and function and increased fear and anxiety-related behaviors, exhibit greater amygdala neuronal activity, as assessed by BOLD functional magnetic resonance imaging, in response to fearful stimuli compared with individuals homozygous for the long allele.

Talking and Writing in Discourse Talking and Writing in Discourse Communities: Inner/Outer CircleCommunities: Inner/Outer Circle
Inner/Outer Circle(Fishbowl)—focus on using language in ways valued by the discipline (e.g., science)– Framing questions for study– Generating hypotheses– Providing evidence for claims– Questioning findings– Examining and synthesizing information from
multiple sources
