Exploring Multigenre Research: Unveiling Meaningful Topics Through Diverse Genres

This research project involves creating a multigenre paper with 7 pieces, including a formal research component and 6 pieces of your choice. Topics can range from historical events to personal reflections. The paper must have essential elements like a title page, letter to the reader, body with repetend, and works cited page. The research piece must be informative and include at least 15 facts from three sources. Each piece should have a clear beginning, middle, and end to ensure coherence. Creative freedom is encouraged, and students are advised to select topics that resonate with them. This project aims to help students express their individuality and deepen their understanding of themselves and their chosen topics.

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
