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.

Once that is all finished, you can give your project a unique title that will stand out your audience. Finally, then to wrap everything up you can write a topic rationale to justify all your choices you made throughout the entire project. Chapter 10 was very helpful with giving examples of what genres I can use for my project. I think it provided me with a better understanding of what to do for project 3.

I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...
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.
