Today, we completed a writing into the day about our processes for writing with the Discourse Communities Comparison (See PowerPoint slide 88).  In our workshop groups, we discussed each group member's paper.  We followed the structure we discussed previously (see slide 48 on the PowerPoint) and answered the following topics:
