1.  Only give genres are required.  At least ONE genre must be a longer piece of writing.  Go back through your planning sheet and highlight your final genre choices.

*Remember, this is just a plan.  Plans can always change as we become more invested in our project.  Stick to your plan and work hard to complete checkpoints on time.  This will ensure a successful and minimal stress project.  You can do this!!!

2.  After you have chose your 5 genres, brainstorm how you will put this project together.  How will it be presented for your audience?  For example, will you “package” your MGP as a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a suitcase, a newspaper, or even a magazine?  What method of presentation seems most appropriate for communicating your information?  Are you trying to make this information seem authentic/real as if it was found from this time era?  Consider how you might make it seem authentic.  Brainstorm or maybe even draw a picture below:

3.  Lastly, you have the option of creating an artistic representation of your theme/topic in place of one of your genres.  If you choose to do this, you will need to have an accompanying paragraph explaining its significance/what it is trying to convey, much like you could see a plaque next to a piece of art in a gallery.  It should also include the title of your piece.  Brainstorm below possible projects you could do for this.  In what way could you use art to convey the message you want your audience to receive?
