C. Some Things...

  • keep track of things in your folder; label everything correctly and organize

    • be sure you have links on a document for any online delivery systems​

    • be sure to have EVERYTHING in your folder; including midterm items

  • create a GSD list of things you have to get done

    • look at the grade breakdown under the Assignments & Due Dates tab​

  • Be sure to reference your Intersections mind map but it is malleable. 

  • As you progress through research, your choices will change and that is ok! ​

  • If you are struggling with what genre to create, talk to me. I have spoken to several people but not everyone...

  • Be sure that whichever genre you decide to do in some way represents the research you have done and the purpose of Intersections project! What specific change are you advocating for? What action are you seeking? 

Genre Workshop

For the remainder of class, work on your Final Portfolio!

Be sure that you are also working on Genre #1 Justification.

  • What is your genre?

  • ​When you discuss the genre/recognizable form you are choosing explain why you are choosing this genre? What does it do for you and your audience? How does it help you achieve your advocacy goals. Furthermore, what are the conventions of the genre and how do you plan on using them. 

  • How are you advocating for change?

  • Who is your audience for this genre? Why do they matter?

    • ​When you say who your audience is explain as much about them as you can. How old are they? how do they get their information on a daily basis? what is their prior knowledge? What will you have to do to understand this group of people in order to communicate with them effectively.

  • What is the delivery system for this genre?

  • Are you able to provide research in your genre? Discuss any research that you used from your DL's to support your Genre #1 but may have not been able to include in the genre itself. Be sure to include â€‹â€‹textual evidence from those sources.
