JC: I use the computer or my grandma’s Kindle to
find out what move to do next.
J: Does the computer help you out to find what you
want?
JC: Yes, It gives me clues to be able to help me
move on to the next level or it helps me get different moves to be able to beat
the other wrestlers. I apply the signature moves and that wrestler is Done!
J: How do get the information on what you need off
the computer?
JC: I sometimes have to read what it says sometimes
my mommy has to help me read what is on it because the words are too big for me
to read or I see the moves on You Tube. I like to see it because it makes it
easier to apply the move to the wrestler.
J: What else do you do for fun?
JC: I read books about wrestling. I learn a lot. I
learn like where my favorite wrestlers are born, how old they are, when did
they start wrestling, how many title championships have they won, what are
their signature moves, and lots of other stuff

JC: We talk about anything. We talk about wrestling.
Wrestling is our favorite. We talk about…um um the moves that the wrestlers
apply to one another. If we saw any of the shows like Monday Night Raw or Smack
Down. We talk about what we saw and if we liked who won the match. It is so
cool to be able to talk to my friends about the shows. We sometimes try to you
know do the moves on each other. We get to talk a lot at lunch time and
sometimes when we have recess or specials.
J: At school do you get to read books for fun?
JC: I read
WWE Books sometimes we do when we have free time or lunch and recess. But I
like to come home and use the computer before uh I do homework its fun for me
to do this or my teacher reads different books.
J: What do you do on the computer?
JC: Look up plays for the games I like to play. The
moves to beat the games. And who won the wrestling matches on TV and I try to
watch the shows I don’t have that much time to see them so I squeeze them in.

He learned how to interpret “clues” and how to apply clues across different
platforms).

for someone to help him when he cannot read what is on the screen of the games

fun and exciting for him and his friends. It is mention in Swales discourse

night on tv. We talk about their entrance sons and their finisher wrestling
moves. And we talk about um which ones are our favorite wrestlers. (Swales points out that there are lexis among the
discourse communities which only the community knows and this is one of them.
As an outside conducting this interview there is lexis that I don’t know about
but my son and his friends know like the entrance songs and lyrics. The
finisher moves don’t have a clue on what that means but learned it as I
interviewed him. They are learning so much by just having a common interest
among each other).
J: What do you like to do with your trading cards?
JC: Sometimes when we bring them to school we play
with them at recess time. We look at the pictures. We look at the numbers for
like to see who won who has the most numbers and then they win and if you lose
you trade with someone else and sometimes we trade them with one each other. (Building vocabulary, arithmetic skills, developing sense
of patterns, and order of arranging and rearranging cards. Enriching literacy
and discourse among friends without having a clue that they are among each
other).
J: Why do you like to read the wrestling ones more
than any other book?
JC: Because they are entertaining and they have the
best legends in history entrainment like Shawn Michaels, The Kings of Kings
Triple H, Mic Flare, and MY FAVORITE WRESTLER JOHN CENA!( He is having fun reading books that are interesting to him and he
reads because he wants to not, not because it is assigned to him. He is
learning while engaging in something he likes to do. He is opening and learning
new vocabulary he could use in his discourse and any discourse he has among his
friends).
