the real genre

My genre for the project will be essay form and hopefully a PowerPoint or a poster board to go along and supplement that. The conventions of essays are persuasive writing, informative writing, and a laundry list of other things to convey a point. Also conventions can be how essays are usually written. The writer needs to get the target audience to sway one way or the other. The writers of the genre include everyone who wants to have a in changing the political process. It can be everyday average students people up the high levels of congress. The purpose of the genre can be many things: essays have a wide range of topics. inform people about things, persuay people about an issue, tell people a story. There is no limit on what you can and cant write. There is a lot f freedom involved with essays but most students usually go for the typical 5 paragraph essay that they were conventionally taught in school. also another lack of freedom is which format you have to follow MLA etc. this depends on what you are writing about.
