~I found this 'term' Sunday evening, October 2nd at 10pm when I was reading "Friendly Texts and Text-Friendly Teachers (2001) written by Mariam Jean Dreher and Harry Singer.
"A uniform style of presenting information is referred to as discourse consistency."
~This term was clearly defined in the sentence presented in the reading. The definition is: A uniform style of presenting information. (Using a consistent pattern of organization throughout a text, an author provides studetns with a predictable structure (Dreher & Singer, 2001, pg. 99)
~I understand the idea of textbooks needing some sort of organizational pattern but have never come across a formal phrase or term such as this one before.
~This is a term I would like to know well because it is a strong academic term for something that I am engaged with all of the time in my field. The academic language will help my professionalism in the long run.
~I believe this is a term that others in my field and this class should know well because we are all trying to gain professionalism within the Literacy program and it is common academic language that should be used.
