Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

Week 1 - Budget Meeting 1
No unread replies.2222 replies.
Your response is due Day 3 (Thursday). Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
Organizing the News Team
Budget meetings are a necessary part of news media organizations. It is the time where individuals and departments come together to plan what news they will deliver to their audience and how to present it. Since you will be simulating real-world media organizations in this course, you will also have budget meetings.
The purpose of your live budget meetings and consistent collaboration in the Budget Meeting area of the course will be to work together to produce an investigative report suited for various media platforms that will be submitted in Week 5 of the course. Your investigative report will be in the form of a print publication and a broadcast script. The publications are fictitious in name. You will be using templates to simulate various media platforms that you will download from the classroom. While each of the templates are designed as an individual publication, once you have written your individual contributions, you will work with your News Team to combine elements of each report to create a cohesive investigative story.
This means that parts of the story you wrote will be interwoven with parts from your News Team members. The following resources will help you to understand how to download the templates and use the platforms to present your work.
· Downloading the Templates
· Using Google Docs for the Print Publication and Broadcast Script
· Using Google Sites for the Digital Publication
In Day 1 of the course, you will indicate your time zone and flexibility. By Day 2, your instructor will have placed you in news teams based on this information. This week, you will meet the news team you will work within Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of the course to produce the investigate report due in Week 5 of the course.
Since budget meetings in the real world are face-to-face, you will be using Zoom to conduct your weekly meetings. Zoom allows you to use video ...

From this proposal, a reader should be able to understand that you are using
ethical decision-making skills
to plan your analysis. In other words, the proposal needs to show that you are thinking carefully about your own point of view and planning to remain even as you are analyzing a text that represents other perspectives.

· Make specific references to readings, feedback, ideas, and theories that prodded you to re-think your experiences and helped to increase your awareness of your marketing skills.
· Provide examples to support your comments and observations. Be specific and concrete. Tell a complete story. Avoid generalizations. Support a statement with a specific example that would demonstrate your understanding and skill.
· Share your thoughts and ideas about your own experiences and about the readings. Do not be afraid to challenge or disagree with the readings. Share what makes sense for you and what you have questions about. Be a critical reader.
· Go beyond general descriptions. Be thoughtful and critical in your analyses.
Assignment Structure
Remember, you will be judged by the quality of your work, which in this case are your assignments. To ensure the quality of your written work, keep the following in mind when preparing your assignments:
· Set up a cover page with your name, assignment number, and due date for each assignment in MS Word.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
To follow-up on our in-class discussions, we’ve learned that understanding audience is paramount to
quality technical writing. It is the technical writer’s job to construct an appropriate document based on
what the audience expects and needs. We’ve also covered the basics of what a “good” technical
document should do. We know that a technical document should:
Address a specific audience
Facilitate an audience’s ability to solve problems, gain new information, and to carry out work
Use genre, style, design, visuals, color, type, etc. to enhance readability, clarity, and usability
Allow the audience to gain information quickly and find information easily
Furthermore, technical documents are often the result of collaboration and usually represent an
organization’s or company’s goals, culture, and values (Markel, 2015, p. 7).
We also know that usability and user-based design is important in technical writing. In the broader
sense, usability often requires testing the effectiveness of a product, design, or building. Usability
engineers, for example, might spend time testing a design for a user’s ergonomic comfort. In terms of
technical writing, usability and usability testing refers to the readability and usefulness of the document.
To further our discussion on technical writing, audience, and usability, you are going to analyze how
effectively a website or a smartphone app has constructed its interface for its intended audience. In
(Project 1: Usability) 2
other words, your job will be to navigate a website or app of your choosing and analyze how the website
or app handles (or fails to handle) the needs of i.

Overview In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia p.docx
Overview: In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and diversity through analyzing its impact on society. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience. This milestone is due in Module Five.
In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself, as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message.
Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society.
PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements (which align to the critical elements required of the presentation in Final Project Part Two) must be addressed:
I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that have been discussed in the course.
Using appropriate research strategies, describe a social or global issue/event that is related to issues of diversity. i. What is the origin of the issue?
ii. What is the issue about?
Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of the issue/event on society.
i. Who is impacted by the issue?
ii. What is important to know about them?
C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how society impacts the chosen issue.
Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity influences your individual framework of perception with respect to your discipline of study or profession.
How has critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity informed your individual framework of perception? Consider how it has altered the way you perceive the world.
How can critically analyzing diversity influence your field of study or profession? How can studying diversity inform your understanding of the next big topic of study in your field or profession in the next five to ten years?
Society: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity enhances your ability to engage constructively in society.
How does critically analyzing diversity add value to how you interact with people and understand social or global issues/events? Supple.

A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:

Week 1 - Budget Meeting 1
No unread replies.2222 replies.
Your response is due Day 3 (Thursday). Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
Organizing the News Team
Budget meetings are a necessary part of news media organizations. It is the time where individuals and departments come together to plan what news they will deliver to their audience and how to present it. Since you will be simulating real-world media organizations in this course, you will also have budget meetings.
The purpose of your live budget meetings and consistent collaboration in the Budget Meeting area of the course will be to work together to produce an investigative report suited for various media platforms that will be submitted in Week 5 of the course. Your investigative report will be in the form of a print publication and a broadcast script. The publications are fictitious in name. You will be using templates to simulate various media platforms that you will download from the classroom. While each of the templates are designed as an individual publication, once you have written your individual contributions, you will work with your News Team to combine elements of each report to create a cohesive investigative story.
This means that parts of the story you wrote will be interwoven with parts from your News Team members. The following resources will help you to understand how to download the templates and use the platforms to present your work.
· Downloading the Templates
· Using Google Docs for the Print Publication and Broadcast Script
· Using Google Sites for the Digital Publication
In Day 1 of the course, you will indicate your time zone and flexibility. By Day 2, your instructor will have placed you in news teams based on this information. This week, you will meet the news team you will work within Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of the course to produce the investigate report due in Week 5 of the course.
Since budget meetings in the real world are face-to-face, you will be using Zoom to conduct your weekly meetings. Zoom allows you to use video ...

This proposal should begin by naming the text you want to analyze. It should then explain why you find the text relevant to a specific issue that affects the community you have decided to write about. Justify your response: why is this a good text to analyze? How does breaking down the text help an audience understand the issue that is affecting the community?
Finally, the proposal should discuss the most important terms you will use to explain how the text works and outline the writing strategies and rhetorical tools you plan to use in order to analyze the text. Look back at the sections on "analysis" and "rhetorical tools" in CEL Ch.6 (169-176) to help you articulate your response.
From this proposal, a reader should be able to understand that you are using
ethical decision-making skills
to plan your analysis. In other words, the proposal needs to show that you are thinking carefully about your own point of view and planning to remain even as you are analyzing a text that represents other perspectives.

· Link theory and practice by explaining what you have learned as a result of the readings, dialogue with your fellow students, feedback, reflections, and practical application of skills.
· Make specific references to readings, feedback, ideas, and theories that prodded you to re-think your experiences and helped to increase your awareness of your marketing skills.
· Provide examples to support your comments and observations. Be specific and concrete. Tell a complete story. Avoid generalizations. Support a statement with a specific example that would demonstrate your understanding and skill.
· Share your thoughts and ideas about your own experiences and about the readings. Do not be afraid to challenge or disagree with the readings. Share what makes sense for you and what you have questions about. Be a critical reader.
· Go beyond general descriptions. Be thoughtful and critical in your analyses.
Assignment Structure
Remember, you will be judged by the quality of your work, which in this case are your assignments. To ensure the quality of your written work, keep the following in mind when preparing your assignments:
· Set up a cover page with your name, assignment number, and due date for each assignment in MS Word.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
To follow-up on our in-class discussions, we’ve learned that understanding audience is paramount to
quality technical writing. It is the technical writer’s job to construct an appropriate document based on
what the audience expects and needs. We’ve also covered the basics of what a “good” technical
document should do. We know that a technical document should:
Address a specific audience
Facilitate an audience’s ability to solve problems, gain new information, and to carry out work
Use genre, style, design, visuals, color, type, etc. to enhance readability, clarity, and usability
Allow the audience to gain information quickly and find information easily
Furthermore, technical documents are often the result of collaboration and usually represent an
organization’s or company’s goals, culture, and values (Markel, 2015, p. 7).
We also know that usability and user-based design is important in technical writing. In the broader
sense, usability often requires testing the effectiveness of a product, design, or building. Usability
engineers, for example, might spend time testing a design for a user’s ergonomic comfort. In terms of
technical writing, usability and usability testing refers to the readability and usefulness of the document.
To further our discussion on technical writing, audience, and usability, you are going to analyze how
effectively a website or a smartphone app has constructed its interface for its intended audience. In
(Project 1: Usability) 2
other words, your job will be to navigate a website or app of your choosing and analyze how the website
or app handles (or fails to handle) the needs of i.

Let’s Get Social!
Discussion Title
Prepare: There is no shortage of social media platforms that exist for us to communicate directly and indirectly with each other. For this assignment, we will focus on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. This discussion requires that you establish an account for each of the platforms. If you already have one, create a separate one specifically for this assignment so you can share your links with others in the class. If you are a Journalism and Mass Communication major, your profile will be used in other courses as you progress through the program. You will also need to read the following about these forms of social media:
· Facebook 101
· Anatomy of a Tweet
· About YouTube
·
Reflect: Once you have established your social media presences, reflect on the following questions:
· Was the setup straightforward?
· How much personal information did you have to provide?
· How do you perceive the usefulness of each platform on a personal and professional level?
·
Write: Now that you have critically thought about the process of setting up and using these social media platforms, write a 200- to 250-word blog post about your experience with setting them up. In your post, you must include at least one credible source of information that is related to at least one of the questions to support your ideas. Include a byline at the beginning of your blog post. At the end of your blog, include a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your blog. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in theAshford Writing Center. View theFormatting Stories and Blogs document for assistance with formatting your blog.
Check It! Your blog must be submitted throughGrammarly prior to submission.

Overview In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia p.docx
Overview: In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and diversity through analyzing its impact on society. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience. This milestone is due in Module Five.
In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself, as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message.
Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society.
PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements (which align to the critical elements required of the presentation in Final Project Part Two) must be addressed:
I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that have been discussed in the course.
Using appropriate research strategies, describe a social or global issue/event that is related to issues of diversity. i. What is the origin of the issue?
ii. What is the issue about?
Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of the issue/event on society.
i. Who is impacted by the issue?
ii. What is important to know about them?
C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how society impacts the chosen issue.
Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity influences your individual framework of perception with respect to your discipline of study or profession.
How has critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity informed your individual framework of perception? Consider how it has altered the way you perceive the world.
How can critically analyzing diversity influence your field of study or profession? How can studying diversity inform your understanding of the next big topic of study in your field or profession in the next five to ten years?
Society: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity enhances your ability to engage constructively in society.
How does critically analyzing diversity add value to how you interact with people and understand social or global issues/events? Supple.

Research Paper
Using the Powerpoint presentation for inspiration, research a technology, idea or concept that you would like to see implemented in the field of public health, food security, public art, or climate change adaptation to address an issue or problem you have identified. Your goal is to write a short paper in which you try to convince your audience to adopt this new technology, concept or idea. This paper is based on the concept of a policy briefing, though we will be adapting the format to suit our needs.
Audience: your audience should be a person or group of people who have the capacity to implement the technology, idea or concept you are proposing. For example, if you think that a great climate change adaptation idea is to build porous sidewalks and alleys as they have in Chicago and other cities, then you would address your paper to city council. If you think that Camosun College should have more public art, then you would address your paper to Camosun College Administration. So do a bit of research and discover whom to address your paper to.
Tone and Terminology: Make sure that the tone you use in your writing is appropriate. In most cases, your tone should be professional and concise. Avoid jargon that your audience would not know. (And please remember that I need to understand what you are writing). Your goal is to communicate, not to confuse.
Purpose: Your purpose is to persuade your reader to adopt the technology, idea or concept that you are presenting. Make sure to inform your reader what the current issue or problem is, as well as how it will be addressed by adopting the technology, idea or concept you propose. To do this, you will have to research what the current dialogue or conversation on the topic is. A strong persuasive paper will inclu.

E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
