Discussion Post: CHAT and Everyday Writing

In this discussion, I want you each to choose a genre that you've written recently (within the past couple months or so) and describe your writing in terms of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT).

To understand CHAT, see these readings from Week 1:

• Edel: In the Twilight of the Modern Age
• Prior: Mapping Literate Activity (just the one page)

 Click "read more" to see an example of how I apply CHAT to blogging.
