Week #3 MP4--Work on Project/Repetend (Linking)

AGENDA:
Work on your projects at home.  Upload text, images, "artifacts" and other elements of your work to show your progress to Google Classroom for FRIDAY, May 8.

FIND A REPETEND FOR YOUR PROJECT:


What is a Repetend?

Picture
Because multi-genre projects are unique and non-linear, they require a lot of work from a reader.  You, as a conscientious writer, do not want to let your reader get confused as they move from genre to genre. If you provide your reader with reoccurring images or phrases, or a running commentary or even a narrative or story, you will create unity that will help your reader better understand your central theme. This can be much like making sure to weave your thesis throughout a traditional essay paper. We will use a repetend to provide that link among the elements of your project.

repetend is a repeated phrase and/or image that is used in every genre of your multigenre project.  Repetends help to connect all of the pieces and are sometimes used to convey the message of the paper.  


Ways to incorporate repetend in your multi-genre project:
  • include the same phrase, sentence, or passage on each genre page as a heading or somewhere else in the text
  • include a description or design in each piece (written or graphic), placed strategically for easy recognition
  • create a character and follow his/her reactions to pieces
  • create a character involved somehow in each piece of writing--an ongoing little story
  • create a cartoon strip at the top or bottom of each genre page that comments on the ideas presented

Repetend Used:

  • "And the beat goes on" 
  • "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." 
  • Tree, extended metaphor (seed, roots, branches) 
  • Visual: Baby footprint 
  • "The Land of Opportunity" 
  • "Shattering Love or Seeking Justice" 

Paper Topic:

  • Woodstock 
  • Neil Armstrong 
  • Alvin Ailey 
  • Abortion 
  • Family History Project 
  • Capital Punishment
