Multi-Genre Paper

Definition of “genre” a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2014)

What’s “multi-genre”? No single genre may tell the “whole” story, but a collection of genres centered around the same focal point, theme, question, or concern can offer the writer and reader multiple ways of understanding it.

How do I do this? Choose a topic/theme/issue from The House on Mango Street around which to center your paper. Consider multitudinous ways you might explore it – poetry, narration, journal entries, articles – there are limitless mediums for exploration. Juxtapose your intellectual and emotional responses by carefully selecting the genres you feel will represent your perspective effectively.
