Multi-Genre+Project

=Multi-Genre' Project= You will create a Multi-Genre' section in your Wiki. Research Information Glog

**Multi-Genre __Research__ Project**
 * 1) You need to choose a topic of interest to research: Use Google Wonder Wheel to narrow down your topic. **Take notes on your topic while you are researching.**
 * 2) After you collect information in your research, you will be creating five multi-genre pieces showing what you have learned. Choose one genre from each group that you will find on page 2, but you are welcome to use a genre I have not listed if you get it approved by me ahead of time. Pick genres that fit the information you want to teach to your audience, which will be your peers. You will need a Works Cited page using MLA formatting. You will also need an introduction page that familiarizes your audience with your topic facts and gives them background knowledge so they can better understand and make connections among the pieces in the rest of your project.
 * 3) Give your Wiki a creative Look and Feel. Organize your Wiki pages in a logical manner. Create a new page for each genre (group) . Label the page with the group name (ie. Print Media) . Create pages for Home (Title of Project, Your Name, and something to grab the audience attention), Introduction (information that invites your audience in to your project), and Works Cited . Make each genre you choose LOOK like that genre would appear (ie. If you choose newspaper make it look like a newspaper). This may mean that you type directly on your Wiki, add attachments, images, music, or videos. Be creative.
 * 4) At the end of this project you will have 2 days to create a public service announcement about your topic. You will be working in small groups which we will determine later. You will be receiving more information about your public service announcement later.
 * 5) Each of the five groups will be graded using the PASS 15-point rubric. You may choose to do a 6th group for extra credit.
