1. What was your reaction to Dirk's discussion of genres? Is this the approach that you will be taking in the classroom? And, while learning genre conventions is important, will you have assignments where you encourage students to play with genre?
2. If Devitt's assessment of genre is true, do you find genre to be liberating, in that it has various conventions that deem a response to a situation as fitting? Or do you find this to be constraining? And what power is there in subverting genre conventions? What risks? And again, how does this negotiation play out in the classroom?
