    Multi-Genre Paper Assignment

    A multi-genre paper arises from research, experience, and


    imagination. It is not an uninterrupted, expository monolog nor a seamless
    narrative nor a collection of poems. A multi-genre paper is composed of
    many genres and subgenres, each piece self-contained, making a point of its
    own, yet connected by theme or topic and sometimes by language, images
    and content. In addition to many genres, a multi-genre paper may also
    contain many voices, not just the author's. The trick is to make such a paper
    hang together.
    Tome Romano, Blending Genre, Altering Style
    Each piece in the paper utilizes a different genre, reveals one facet of
    the topic, and makes its own point.
    A multi -genre research paper contains:
    Title Page
    Table of Contents
    "Dear Reader Letter". This introduces the topic and gives the writer
    the chance to speak directly to the readers. This does not need to be
    in the form of a letter.
    Two to three multi-genre pieces (The genres have been carefully
    chosen. The pieces have been written very carefully.)
    A bibliography (to credit any and all outside sources)

    A multi-genre paper presents different perspectives on a topic or event and


    various pieces can be written using different voices. You should not only
    include writing pieces that relate to a general topic or event, but you should
    ensure that the genre you choose is relevant to the information you want to
    convey.
    The multi-genre paper will include at least 9 documents (including a title
    page, an Introduction, Table of Contents, at least 5 documents of different
    genres, and a works cited.
    The title page will be catchy to the eye and will hint to the content of your
    project either literally or abstractly.
    The introduction serves helps the readers understand the issue(s) youre
    addressing, offering them insight into why you chose the genres you chose

    and what you want the reader to get out of your paper. The introduction is
    your chance to help the reader understand why this topic is important and
    how he/she should read your documents. The intro may be written as a
    letter to readers, an advice column, an editorial, etc.

    The main section of your project will be a minimum of two to three


    documents, each representing a different genre that helps your audience
    understand the message you want to get across. Aim for a good balance of
    genres and ensure that your genres are appropriate for the information that
    you are giving your audience. The information contained in each piece
    needs to have a factual base but can be imaginative in presentation. The
    order in which you present the pieces is as important as the individual pieces
    themselves.
    The final page will be a bibliography. You must cite all sources from which
    you get your information, no matter how small the fact(s) seem. They must
    be written using the proper format.
    The multi-genre project will be presented in a theme that best fits
    your purpose. Ways in which you can package your project include a CD,
    a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a
    manual, a newspaper, a magazinethe options are endless and lead you to
    use your imagination! Just be sure to offer us a table of contents (TOC) that
    provides an overview of and title for each document.
