My primary website, the ASCE main website, is a formal and informative website. I know this because it has multiple different sections that talk about the organization, the benefits of being a member, how to get a higher education, different careers that someone of this discourse community (cicvil engineering) can join, etc… As well as the way they have the format and word usage in their website that resemble an informative based site.

Thesis: The ASCE website affiliates with civil engineering by using Swales’ third characteristic and Gee’s secondary Discourse. By using a website, it makes it easier for people to search and find different topics about the organization or civil engineering conveniently all in one place.
