Genre Worksheet Assignment | Get Paper Help

As we know, genres are only recognizable once a number of readers, viewers, listeners, gamers—in other words, an audience—can identify and expect specific conventions as belonging to a particular genre. Because of this, you cannot make up a brand-new genre for your RIP project—who would recognize it besides yourself? Instead, you’ll need to search for models of your chosen genre(s) with conventions that you can imitate.

Pick one of the genre options (film review, book review, newspaper opinion piece, personal essay, satire) for the RIP project. Use the “Where to search for genre models” page, websites you’re familiar with, and/or Google to find examples of it online.

Which genre conventions does your text absolutely need to follow so that your audience will recognize your text?

Record the following details for three of the models that you find:

Model #1:

Brief description of the source (a real-life model, a template, a how-to guide, a reference article, etc.):

What is the model’s primary message and purpose? How do you know?

Describe the style of the model. What notable features of language do you see? How does it look? Be as specific as you can.

Does this model exhibit any significant differences from other models or guides? How and why are these differences present?

Who is the intended audience and why are they reading? How does this model appeal to its intended audience? Think in terms of logos, ethos, and pathos.
