Multi-genre Life Brochure

For this assignment each student will select 4 or more genres from thegenre sheet to create a brochure that provides information on someaspect of your life. One genre must be an asterisked genre from the

list. Because a brochure is divided into three sections, a good idea mightbe to focus on three corresponding aspects of your life. For example,past/present/future, likes/dislikes/loves, family/friends/other people,school/home/other, real life/fantasy life/future life, or you may choosethree other related aspects for your brochure.

This assignment is an opportunity for you to engage in the writing processusing multiple genres. It is also an opportunity for everyone to get toknow each other a little bit better. Therefore, the brochure does not needto be deeply personal, but it can be. It does not even need to be true, but

I would like for it to be. *Please note that, by law, I am a mandatedreporter, which means that if you disclose anything that suggests you arebeing abused or neglected I am required by law to report it.

Each student will present his or her brochure in a small group. Each groupwill select one brochure to be presented to the class. The presenter of thebrochure does not necessarily have to be the author of the brochure.

Your brochure can be either handmade/drawn or it can be generated on acomputer or a combination of both. Use the resources at your disposal.However, you must be able to turn in a hard copy. I WILL NOT OPEN YOUR

BROCHURE FROM YOUR DOCUMENTS. Please remember this and consideryour computer capabilities when deciding how to create your brochure.Not having a printer is not an excuse for not having your brochure. Youwill have only a minimal amount of class time to complete thisassignment.

Following is a list of criteria that I will be looking for:

o Minimum requirements met

o Correct use of genres

o Creativityo Effort

Please refer to the rubric on the back for a more detailed idea of how youwill be scored on this assignment.
