Q Reader Response Discussion Three Due date: Initial post by Thursday before mid-night, reply to your classmates by Sunday before midnight. Every week you will be asked to discuss what you have read. Here are the criteria: Minimum 450-500 words (for the initial post and 250 for each response), use the same terminology found in the textbooks, answer the prompts below, and respond to at least two classmates' posts. Make sure all your posts are free from grammatical and spelling errors. For this week, read from your textbook Everyone’s an Author, Chapter 11 (pp.137-142), “Choosing Genres.” Then answer the following prompts. • What do you need to know about genres of writing? • What features do genres have to guide you as a writer and reader? • What are some questions to ask in thinking about which genre may be most appropriate, and how do you know which genre to use? (Review the suggested guidelines within the chapter reading). Reflect: Look at three genres on your selected topic: find one of each type (typography, visual, oral). Describe each one. What is the type of genre? Who is the audience for this genre? What is the position of the argument of the genre? What role does the sense of community play within each genre? What information in each of the selected genres might be important? How would you analyze each genre based on the information in Chapter 11? As a reminder, you are the writer, and you frame this discussion through your own lens of what genre means in the selected types of genres you have viewed. It is up to you to make a convincing argument for why you have decided to analyze the genre in this way. Feel free to expand this discussion into the Module 2: Community Genre Analysis.
