This article describes how readers from a graduate program in anthropology evaluated student writing in a general education course. Readers voiced the concerns of their discipline when they focused on the stance writers assumed and how they made value judgments.

Katrina Powell and Pamela Takayoshi's article, "Accepting Roles Created for Us: The Ethics of Reciprocity" (CCC 54 [3]) was an important check to the discussions of methodology in rhetoric and composition, especially as these concern issues of reciprocity. Linking this rather abstract concept with the notion of kairos was smart on many levels, though it also raised questions for me that I hope they might address. Let me say upfront, that this was a useful and interesting essay, one that I read closely and have thought a good deal about. My questions are tough but only because they stem from a position of keen engagement. Their piece described well the complexities of negotiating the terms of give-and-take with research participants. Often the kinds of capital that professors and university representatives possess can be seen by participants as important in ways that researchers may not know until a teachable moment arises in the research setting when a participant spots a need that the researcher might address. In Powell's case, the need was for someone to listen to the story of a roommate's suicide, though listening to this put Powell in an uncomfort-

In this article, we discuss the literacy narratives of coauthors Melissa Pearson and Brittney Moraski, who came to computers almost a generation apart. Our goal is to demonstrate the importance of situating literacies of technology-and literacies more generally-within specific cultural, material, educational, and familial contexts that influence, and are influenced by, their acquisition and development. The increasing presence of personal computers in homes, workplaces, communities, and schools over the past twenty-five years has brought about dramatic changes in the ways people create and respond to information. In the United States, for example, the ability to read, compose, and communicate in computer environments--called variously technological, digital, or electronic literacy'-has acquired increased importance not only as a basic job skill2 but also, every bit as significant, as an essential component of literate activity.3 Today, if students cannot write to the screen-if they cannot design, author, analyze, and interpret material on the Web and in other digital environmentsthey may be incapable of functioning effectively as literate citizens in a growing number of social spheres.

What we ask students to do is who we ask them to be.
