IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY!
Agenda:
-Work on your multi-genre projects!!!
Directions
for the Multi-Genre Research Project
Instead of a traditional
research paper, you will create a multi-genre project. This type of project
offers you a lot more freedom in terms of creativity, and will allow you to
show off your skills in different genres of writing.
- You must have four genres
included in your final project. Two genres MUST be traditional creative writing
pieces such as a poem, a short story, a nonfiction piece, or a dramatic piece.
·
Please
note that you cannot have two poems or two short stories, they must be two
different genres.
-Your remaining two genres
can be a wide variety of things such as song lyrics, comic strips, obituaries,
editorials, hard news stories, diary/journal entries, letters/postcards,
prayers, etc.
-You will choose a theme
having to do with our discussion of women and their role in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries and research it just like you would for a
“traditional” research paper.
-Even though you are creating
separate genres, your overall research project has to have a common theme! All
of your genres should be built around this theme (Sounds a little bit like a
thesis statement…doesn’t it?)
·
Possible
themes: consequences of independence, implications of self-expression,
importance of self-expression, objectification of women, descent into madness,
the domestic versus the active female, etc.
-Lastly, this project is
about freedom! While it does require you to research, you are allowed to be as
creative as you want in terms of the final project.
What your multi-genre project needs to include:
1.
Some
type of cover including the title of your multi-genre project, as well as
images
2.
Your critical
analysis essay (revised)
3.
Two
traditional creative writing genres (poem, short story, nonfiction, drama)
4.
Two
genres of your choice (comic strip, editorial, song lyrics, etc.)
5.
Transitions
between your genres (quotes, pictures, symbols, etc.)
6.
Works
cited page (minimum of three scholarly sources)
