Genre Paper

I really liked this paper and the creative side to it. With the creative side, you think more about your genre than you usually would by just writing a paper. In this paper, I actually started with the artifact, then wrote about the artifact in the paper which gave me much more to write about in the actual analysis. With some of the workshop comments I got I was confused on how to change my paper from the comments on what I could change. I also thought the actual process or the time we took on this paper was a bit long when it could have been cut down to a 3 week paper. I thought that the first paper we wrote on two genres was a little helpful in getting my ideas down and giving me a direction. The only probelm for me with that paper was once I'd written a paper on genre I wasn't intersted in having to write another one about one of the topics I'd already used. This was cured though with the addition of the creative side of the paper.
