Multi-genre writing project for research topic

You've finished your research paper, and so you've covered your topic in ONE genre (one kind of writing). You will now complete a small presentation in which you will create at least three mini projects in other genres.

This presentation will provide you an example of how you might deal with your topic in other genres. You may copy it and use it as a template, or just use it to get ideas for your own. Either way, you will need to place a link to it at the end of your paper, and you will need to share it with me by pasting ddonkersgoed@alpinedistrict.org into the share field.
