Chapter 10 discusses what a multi-genre project is which is a collection of three or more genre compositions made into one topic. I found the steps to assembling a multi-genre project vey helpful because it helps guide me in forming my project. First the book said to give some kind of introduction or background information on what your project is based on. This will not only make people aware about your topic, but it will also give you a chance you state your side if it is an argumentative topic. Next, it said to keep your genres organized, you should have them flow seamlessly and not randomly organized because it could throw the audience off.

Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...
I also found the examples to be very helpful and they also helped guide me to choose what genres I should take into consideration when working on my specific topic for project 3.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I will use the textbook information to better my project three
ReplyDeleteI also view the chapter as a sort of guide to project 3, and the examples were very helpful with giving me a better understanding of the project.
