In my reading of the chapter 10 of the Bedford Book of Genres, "Assembling a Multi-genre Project" I could visualize examples of multi-genre projects and understand better what I am supposed to do. The chapter guides you to the necessary process of thinking for the final project in which you need to assemble multiple different genre to relate to one topic. Based on the examples and the check list I could visualize aspects of the project I should work on.

TOP 10 ADVICE

1. "Some of the best projects we've seen are a combination of textual visual and audio compositions"

2. "A multigenre project is an opportunity to experiment."

3. "It gives tou the chance to practice in a variety of rhetonical situations, forms of composition, and types of media."

4. "There are no 'conventions' for a multigenre work beyond the use of multiple genres to convey ideas to an audience."

5. "Nothing is out of bounds."

6. "Think of each genre piece as a chapter that contributes to a whole"

7."You will unify the pieces by building in relationships aong them by choosing a sequence and package - and by composing an introduction that pulls everything together."

8. "Provide a brief explanation for your rationale for the sequence of your genre pieces"

9. ""...you may need to provide a brief history of your topic, the people who are key to its larger discussion, and the main controversies surrounding it."

10. ...you address a research question, make clear arguments, and draw on sources, all while keeping a strong sense of purpose and audience."
