Final product of project 1 writing – Description
Hi, thank you for helping me with the first draft, here are the instructions for the final draft:
The final product of this assignment
Your final Project 1 should have three components:
Part 1– Research narrative—in about 500 words, describe how you gathered your information for this assignment. Who did you talk to? What is their level of expertise or experience in the field? How did you contact these people? Did you search online, use Snell Library databases, other sources? Did you see samples of all the genres on #2? What was most challenging and productive about this research step of the assignment?
Part II — List all the genres you identify as used in your discipline. Give a brief (2-4 sentence description of each—purpose, context, audience).
Part III — Take three of the genres you have listed, and offer a more in-depth analysis of each. See questions above on things to know about genre. Choose any three genre –those that seem most common, those that interest you the most, those that seem most significant to the field. (each 350-400 words).
Use headings and subheadings to organize ideas and present clearly.
Also a kind reminder of the requirements of genres:
Things to Know about each genre
Gather ideas about 12-15 forms of writing in your discipline. Consider these questions for each form/genre you have identified. While you want to address these questions for each genre, you will find you have more to write about some genres than others.
What is the purpose of this genre? Does it seek to inform, instruct, analyze, persuade, argue, evaluate, or entertain? Some combination of these purposes?
Who is the usual audience for this genre? Is this form typically written for members of the community or for outsiders? Is the audience multiple or unified? Are different audiences targeted by different components of the text? Is the genre primarily targeted to equals, experts, or beginners?
Is there a typical persona for the genre? Is it characterized by certain tones, voices, or styles? Is there a lot of variation in persona or does the genre tend to be consistent in this regard?
Is there a typical look and design to the genre? How is it published? Electronically or hardcopy? Is the genre typically multi-modal, with links, visuals, attachments, etc. included?
Consider other aspects of style and design that are typical, such as sentence length, level of sophistication of vocabulary, sentence complexity, use of specialized language. If visuals are incorporated, why and how? Where? How much? With captions?
Thank you!!
