Considering Genre

There are multiple genres for which an author can convey their opinions. The ones focused on in this course are Quick Reference Guide, Video Essay, Podcast, and Standard College Essay.

1. What genre are you going to commit to for Project 1? Why?
 For the first project I am going to commit to the genre of Quick Reference Guide. I am choosing this one because I think it will allow me to show different graphs of the disasters. Since this controversy is fact heavy and can be easily written cronologicaly with commentary about it under it.
 
2. What genre conventions from your chosen genre are you planning on developing during next week's Production phase? What do you plan to do with the genre conventions that will help you accomplish the purpose of the project most effectively?
I plan on developing an outline for the QRG that includes short, information heavy sections. I also plan on using a timeline on the QRG to show the process of the meltdown. The illustrations allowed for this genre allows a better visual representation of the arguements concerned with the meltdown and what happened.
 
3. How are you feeling about Project 1 going in to the Production phase? What challenges do you anticipate next week as you create content for the project?
 I think the hardest part of the project will be organizing the QRG. There is more than enough information on the topic but finding a way to organizing them is difficult. Other than that I feel like the production phase will go well.
