Chapter 10

Julie Thayer
Before reading chapter 10 I never knew that a multigenre project is a collection of three or more genre compositions. I have never thought of this project as a way to experiment and practice different rhetorical situations. During a multigenre project, you have many goals, for example, to persuade, narrate, or even inform. This makes it very easy to use different genre compositions to ensure you can meet your goals.  These multigenre projects are to create a conversation about one topic. I never thought to use each genre I'm using to contain different rhetorical appeals. The modes and mediums one chooses to present each genre are also important. I didn't truly realize the importance choosing the right medium is. I also didn't know that many of the most successful projects contain textual, visual, and audio compositions. Before reading chapter 10 I didn't notice how important a good title is to ones project, I will definitely spend more time on my title for project 3 than I have on previous projects.

    I agree with you that this chapter taught me a lot of things that I had never even thought about before. It taught me how important certain things actually are that I used to dismiss and what actually comprises a well done multimedia project.

    I also didn't recognize the importance of choosing the right medium before creating a multi-genre project. I believe that this chapter definitely helps us with better understanding project 3.

    I also did not know previous to reading this chapter that a multi genre project consist of at least three or more different genre compositions. I agree that project three may take a bit more time than the previous project because of all it's various components.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Mary Katherine Rankey annoying ways

The reading "Annoying Ways" is all about the annoying ways people choose to use their sources and the things they can do to change those quirks. The reading discussed the proper ways to cite sources and to cite quotes that the writer uses in their paper. The reading also discusses the importance of where to put a quote. Often times I find the perfect quote, but put it in an awkward place in the sentence, which not only makes my work more sloppy, but also takes away from the message of the quote. The author uses a lot of analogies in his writing to explain how the annoying ways of improper uses of quotes can mimic annoying things in real life. The reading taught me ways I can fix my writing style to fix those annoying habits I have.
