Coordination

1.) By saying this Delpit points out that in general, if people were not capable of acquiring and or building new Discourses onto what they already know, then daily life (especially in school), would be challenging for anyone
– I am using and as an “addition” to the sentence/adding information to the sentence to make my stance on the matter more clear to the reader.

2.) Marge (as Delpit describes her) was a bright student, but she had trouble writing academically.
– Despite the fact that marge is intelligent, I am using the word but as a signal to marges difficulty in writing.

3.) In the story her students had to choose to write in black English to stay true to who they are or to write in standard English when confronting the death of a former friend and student at their school in a local news article.
– In this example I am signaling that the or in this sentence is representing a decision or choice the students in Jordan’s class had to pick when deciding to write in Black v. Standard English for their local news article.

Subordination

1.) However, if they did write in black English and not in standard English, they would lose the communities understanding and with that empathy for what the article was portraying.
– In this instance I am using however to show the otherside of the argument in the conflict seen at the end of June Jordans text.

2.) To further explain what Delpit is arguing in that last excerpt, if one’s dominant discourse doesn’t allow you to acquire more discourses throughout your lifetime (as suggested by Gee), then that would deny anyone of reaching their full potential.
– In this sentence I am using if as a way to contrast the 2 views given to us by Delpit and Gee.
