I made this question annotation because I was confused about why the students found this excerpt funny.

I made the first purple “challenge” annotation because I thought it was odd that Jordan didn’t realize her student was talking the way The Color Purple was written. A couple of paragraphs down, Jordan does acknowledge this similarity, so I made note of that as well.

This is an understanding annotation. I didn’t really realize the scope of Discourses until I read the highlighted line. According to Gee, everything we do requires an “apprenticeship” of sorts.

This is a questioning annotation. I tried to read carefully, but I still don’t understand how to know if you’re fluent in a Discourse.
