Project 3 Reflection prompt, 

TYPE YOUR ANSWER UNDER EACH QUESTION in a


different color. Thank you 😊.
Part 1- Outcome A: Genre

 What is a genre analysis (in your own words)?


Genre analysis is mean when you look over many papers that are in the same genre to
learn about its convention and trait.
 Why is it important for you as a writer? What is your new genre?
It is very important to me as a writer since genre analysis is a new approach to discourse
and text analysis. It will help me develop both my reading and writing skills in the future.
My new genre is presentation.
 Show me 3 of the conventions of your genre and quote your work in project 3, explaining
how you implemented these conventions in each example.
Don't forget your audience. My audience is kids, so I try to be as funny as possible. I
never forget about my audience; I even make a warm-up activity and game show afterward
for them.
Choose readable colors and fonts. My 2 main fonts are Comic San MS and Gill San MT
which I found so easy to read and look playful. Color for the fonts: I tried to contrast color
with the background so it will be easier to read.
Don't overload your presentation with words. This PowerPoint presentation is targeted at
middle school students so I tried not to put too many words on a slide that might confuse
them and destroy the whole purpose of the project.

Part 2- Outcome A: Rhetorical Situation


1- Define Your New Audience (be very specific, 2 qualifiers) --example: high school kids in NM. 
My new audience will be middle schoolers at Menaul School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Menaul School is the high school that I went to but they also teach middle schoolers.
2- What is your purpose with Project 3?
My purpose is to introduce to them a job that they might not know about. Also, about the pros
and cons of this job.
3-Based on these 2 descriptions of your audience and your purpose fill in the table. One is
enough for each cell.

Part 3: Choose one of the following: research, creativity, coherence,


organization, or multimodality. Show an example of how you applied it.
Explain your example.
I choose multimodality because I used it from the start of this revised
project until the very last slide of the presentation. I start with a
PowerPoint presentation with included pictures and words. After that, I
do a voice-over by recording myself in an imagination classroom doing
a presentation about my dream job. If you watch the project video, you
can see all the elements listed down here:
LINGUISTIC/ALPHABETIC ― written and spoken words.
VISUAL ― images.
AURAL ― sound, music.
GESTURAL ― movement, expression, body language.
SPATIAL ― position, physical arrangement, proximity.
