17. A Recap • Your final project will utilize a minimum of FIVE genres. • I highly recommend you cull from already-existing sources for at least one of these genres. • Speaking of “culling” – the work we’ve done in class may be useful. You’ll notice many of our essays and work have been geared towards identifying good and evil as well as heroism. An academic essay IS an example of genre!

You stop building genres when your definition is complete, not when you’ve met the minimum.
