After our class discussion on Monday about the terms hierarchy and dialogic, I now understand what the two concepts mean and how it relates to our collaborative research project. Hierarchy basically means that when a group is working together on a project, each person in the group writes their own part and the members of the group bring their work together at the end of their project. Dialogic is the complete opposite of hierarchy. The individuals in the group work together on the entire assignment and help each other with the writing process as well. I believe that Lindsey and I fall In between hierarchy and dialogic. We are working a lot together on the collaborative research assignment. We call each other if we have any problems and we also get together before or after class to work on our project. However, we both do our own writing and own blog posts. We feel that by doing our own blog posts it will give us more knowledge on our research topic.
