Multi-Genre Writing Project
requirements

2. A preface: A letter to the reader that tells what your paper is about, what types of genres you used and what you learned. You will want to write this after you have completed the project. This serves as an outline for your project and should be the first thing the reader reads.

A preface is an introduction to your work.  It is meant to greet readers and give a bit of background information about your project.  You'll need to introduce the subject and anything you think the reader should know about you and/or your project before they read it. It will help orient your readers quickly and supply information that will help build meaning the further they read.

Question to consider:
What information should I include in my preface?

3. Minimum of five genres: you will write in at least six different forms, some of which are listed above. We will go over different types of genres and practice together in class.

4. Minimum of six sources that are used for research. You may only use one Internet source; the others must come from books, magazines, poems, newspaper articles, films, etc.

5. A repetend that unifies your piece.

A repetend is a word, sound or phrase that is repeated (much like a refrain in poetry and music).

6. An Epilogue that will serve as your conclusion and tell the reader what you have learned.

An epilogue is similar to a conclusion. In your epilogue you should reflect on your topic. This is a chance to share your thoughts, feelings, and concluding information with your audience.

Question to consider:
What are some things you would include in your epilogue?

7. A Bibliography of your works cited using MLA style.

9. A completed Research Log that will help you stay on track and document the research you have done.
