  1. Multigenre Paper Fact Cards due Friday, April 28 3pm Research Outline due Friday, May 6 at 3pm Research typed in class Monday, May 9 and Tuesday, May 10 Final copy (of everything) due Thursday, May 12

  2. Genre Requirements • 7 pieces total (bare minimum!) • 1 of the 7 pieces will be a formal research component • 6 of the 7 pieces will be your own choice • 2 of these pieces will be “main pieces” (i.e. a page long each) • A minimum of 5 different genres represented here (in other words, 1 genre may be “doubled up” if needed)

  3. Structure Requirements • Must include the following: • Title page* • Letter to the Reader* • Body with repetend • Works Cited page* *These do not count toward page or genre requirements

  4. Topic Possibilities • A Person (famous, historical, relative) • A historical event (WWI, 9/11) • A problem with society (racism, abuse) • I-search (revealing/realizing oneself)

  5. Letter to the Reader • Must be in letter form (Dear reader…) • At least one paragraph • Identify your topic and why you chose it. • Include signature Dear Reader, Ever since I was little…blah blahblah Sincerely, Martha Copp

  6. Research Piece • One of your pieces must be a researched, informative expository about your topic • Research piece will be used as essay portion of QLA assessment • 2 pages double-spaced (3 sources) • Minimum of fifteen (15) facts researched • Works Cited must also be turned in with research piece • Fact cards due this Friday 3 p.m. Why do I have to write a research piece? In order for the reader to “get” your topic, he/she must first understand the basics.

  7. Body Cont’d • The other pieces can be mixed and matched off the main list • If there is another genre you can think of, let me know! • Body must have a beginning, middle, and end- the order must make sense

  8. Repetend • Something added to your paper that repeats or continues. This creates unity among the various genre pieces (similar to weaving a thesis throughout a paper). • More on this later

  9. Helpful Hints • Be creative. Choose a topic that is meaningful. The purpose of this paper is to help learn who you are and how you feel. • Be an individual. One student per topic.
