Assembling A Multigenre Project

I will be creating a poster board, which I believe is the most effective genre I will be using. I believe this to be the case because simply looking at a poster requires no effort on the part of the student. As someone is awaiting the elevator, they may choose to be looking around the room for things to do. If they enjoy the topic, they can do further research and possibly look up the social media page or the YouTube video. This genre furthers the message of my research paper by showing that what I say in the paper actually works. Similar to a poster, I spoke about sidewalk chalk in my paper and how this method is effective for communicating your club to fellow students. I will be using Ethos by putting my content on the poster, so people may fact check me. Personally, I don’t believe the audience of someone that looks at a poster is any specific type of person. I believe that the age of the people may be different, however, leading me to say that the majority of the students that see my poster will be freshman. This is a good audience because they have new ideas and if they are looking to make a club that they can't currently find, this will be a good guide for them. So, I believe the audience will be interested in the topic. An alternate genre I could use is sidewalk chalk. These genres are very similar, but take different approaches to getting the message across. Plus, rain can't take out a poster that’s indoors.

Sequencing your genre pieces basically means have one genre piece lead to the next and offer your audience slightly more information each piece. Sequencing is good for a quick orientation for your audience. Examples are then provided on different sequencing techniques. I am going to sequence my projects by first drawing the audience in with the poster, then by having my twitter and YouTube serve as two sources of information for my viewers to check to learn about the research.
