In this assignment, we’ll be producing an example of a genre of your choice. Working with your genre of
choice, define what the genre is and how it works, using three examples of the genre. From that starting
place, you’ll draft your own text within the genre. Once you’re done, you’ll write a short explanation of
how your text belongs in the genre and how it matches up with your examples of the genre.
Questions to consider:
1.Style:What is the tone of the genre? How does it appeal to readers?
2.Design:What formatting choices define the genre? What types of design choices are possible? How are
they used?
3.Medium:Where is the genre found? How does that location/technology impact the format of the genre
and access to it?
4.Use:Who uses this genre? How do they use it? What types of things usually get talked about with this
genre?
