This document provides instructions for creating a genre parody. It discusses identifying the key features and style of a genre in order to mimic it with an amusing twist. The basic steps are to choose a genre, thoroughly analyze examples of it, zero in on the most distinctive feature, and mimic that feature with a twist. A sample parody of an obituary is provided, mimicking the form of an obituary but with a humorous reference to Breaking Bad. Four general approaches for parodying a genre are also outlined.

ENGL 309 Project 1 Assignment Sheet: Genre Analysis and Parody
This document outlines Project 1 which asks students to analyze a non-fiction prose genre and then write a parody of that genre. To analyze the genre, students must collect 3 examples and answer questions about the genre's context, audience, purpose, and stylistic features. For the parody, students are instructed to mimic the language, style, and tone of the genre while pushing the content to an exaggerated degree. The parody should reveal something insightful about how the genre works. The project will be graded based on the thoroughness of the genre analysis, the accuracy of mimicking the genre in the parody, and the original insights revealed through the parody.

MS3 Evaluation
This document provides guidance on how to write an effective evaluation for an MS3 media production assignment. It should be 500-750 words and worth 10% of the total marks. The evaluation should demonstrate application of media knowledge and theory when analyzing the production. It should also reference how research informed the production. The evaluation structure suggested is to summarize research in 5 sentences, using each as a topic sentence for a paragraph. Paragraphs should explain how learning was applied to specific elements of the production and refer to facts, figures, and media theory when relevant.

Genre theory Steve Neale
Steve Neale is an influential film studies scholar who has written extensively on genre theory. He argues that genres are defined by both repetition of conventions and elements of difference in each text. Genres are not fixed but evolve as new works subvert conventions or combine elements of multiple genres. Audiences expect certain genre conventions but regimes of realism vary between genres based on their internal rules rather than reality alone.

As audiences watch curated online lives, a dependence on observing others emerges, making the viewers the controllers in a postmodern voyeuristic society.

Pitfalls of Science Communication
1. Many people resist scientific arguments not due to lack of education, but because the arguments are perceived as hostile to their values.
2. Highly educated groups tend to be the most polarized in their views on issues like vaccination and climate change.
3. This resistance stems from "identity-protecting cognition" where people seek out and accept information that confirms their preexisting beliefs while disregarding information that contradicts their values.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Project 1, Slidedoc 2: How to Create a Genre Parody
- 1. how to create a Genre Parody
- 2. 1. They arise from a social need (what is prompting the need for communicative action?). 2. They are rhetorical: they have purposes and audiences, and they are circulated in distinctive ways. 3. They develop and evolve over time, in response to changing circumstances. 4. They have a style and distinctive features, though individual instances of the genre can vary considerably. As you’ll recall, genres have certain characteristics:
- 3. Identifying the distinct features and style of a genre will help you begin to parody it. (Remember that parody involves imitating something very closely, with either amplification or some kind of twist.
- 4. Basic Steps for Creating a Genre Parody 1. Find a genre to parody. (Ideally, it should choose you – that is, it should be something you already find inherently funny.) 2. Read, reread, and analyze many examples of the genre – make yourself an expert on the genre’s distinctive features. 3. Zero in on the feature that seems most distinct. 4. Mimic that feature with a twist – the twist is what will call attention to that feature (and that’s what makes parodies funny).
- 5. the twist REAL EXAMPLE OF THE GENRE PARODY
- 6. OK, so this isn’t a terribly funny example of a parody. However, you can see that it does mimic the genre features of an obituary fairly closely (see Project 1, Slidedoc 1). You have to look twice before realizing that it’s not a real obituary, but a reference to the show Breaking Bad. Can you think of ways in which this or another obituary parody could be funnier? Another Parody Example: Obituary
- 7. Four Ways to Parody a Genre 1. Call direct attention to the conventions of the genre (e.g., Charlie Brooker's "How to Report the News," Will Stephens' "How to Sound Smart in a TED Talk"). 2. Flout the conventions of the genre, thereby calling attention to them (e.g. ”How to Meal-Prep for the Week Ahead, Become the Queen of Enlightenment.”) 3. Take elements or features of the genre out of context (Weird Al's "Mission Statement"). 4. Highlight one or more of the typical "failures" or missteps of the genre - where it often goes wrong or awry: columnists giving bad advice, corporate mssion statements using euphemistic language or empty words, etc.
