  1. Multi-Genre Research Project Let Your Creativity Flow!

  2. Why do an MGP? • The multi-genre paper asks you to see, understand, interpret, synthesize, and know your subject through multiple genres. • In employing genres as a tool for interpretation, the multi-genre research paper asks you to be explicitly creative and scholarly, and to pay close attention to matters of style as well as matters of research.

  3. What is an MGP? • It’s a collection of pieces written in a variety of genres, informed by your research on a particular subject, that presents one or more perspectives on a research question or topic. • A multi-genre paper is personal, creative, and can’t be copied from some other source. • It involves you, as a writer, making conscious decisions about what information is important and how it should be presented to the reader.

  4. How do I start an MGP? • As you research, you’ll need to consider your audience and what genres would be the most effective in communicating your message to that audience. What genre will “speak” to the people you most want to reach? And why? • You’ll need to be fully engaged in your research. • This goes beyond the academic paper in a variety of ways. You will be demonstrating all that you’ve learned so far to create something completely unique that only you can do!

  5. You are not Alone! • I will make sure you have everything you need for this project to be fun and a success! • I have made an MGP before, so I know the process and I know what you’re going through. Trust me! • Don’t be afraid to ask me questions!
