Chapter 10



A multi-genre project is 3 or more genre compositions built around a single topic.This chapter gives a better understanding of how to complete project 3. Genre projects allows us to break away from the traditional research form of essays. They is no clear cut way to represent the information provided by the research topic. The checklist of completing a multi-genre project. First, the author should think about the purpose of the information. Then select the audience. How will the audience best understand the information? What are the rhetorical appeals. What happens in within the same genre and how can i use this in my piece? Lastly modes and media. Can I reach many different people with the kinds of genres I chose? To assembly my project I chose to help my audience learn by videos/storytelling, political letter, and surveys. I can reach many different people effectively to inform them about my topic.

  1. I think that this reading gave me a much better understanding of what to do now for our project. I also like the idea of using videos and surveys to effectively reach your audience.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. 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...

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything.

Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.
