Project #3 Proposal
For my project three, I will be studying the Discourse community of cheerleading. I cheered from the time I was four years only up until my senior year of high school. I have been in several different squads during my years as a cheerleader and I have noticed that all of the squads are generally the same. I have learned so much through cheerleading about so much about its Discourse community. Cheerleading is actually a very difficult sport and through my research and this project, I hope to give people and inside look at what the cheerleading Discourse is all about.
Your topic looks good. Remember that for Friday, you need to look at the existing literature about cheerleading. You might find something in the library databases in journals focused on athletics or cheerleading. You might also have to use Google. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI was also a cheerleader in high school. I think you will have something interesting to say about genres and communication and about appropriation.
