What are the different "languages" you use? When and why? Consider both reading and writing, and don't forget about texting! If you speak another language, include it (or possibly them if you know more than one).

We will discuss the interaction of language usage and choice with audience and occasion by focusing on your examples.
4.  We will read the first 2 paragraphs as a class "Mother Tongue" via Hypothesi.is  -
