Justifying Mini-Genre

How were the composition choices I made...

  • strategic
  • targeted towards my audience
  • the "best practices" for my selected genre
  • clear
  • aesthetic
  • effective

How is the mini-genre I chose suitable to....

  • a particular audience being targeted
  • age
  • gender
  • the rhetorical situation established via your proposal
  • the needs of your proposal committee

"Best Methods" for chosen mini-genre

Informed composing & tools

Try keywords

  • social media principles
  • poster aesthetics
  • effective YouTube video
  • podcast guidelines

Skim through some of these first before you start drafting your mini-genres.

Don't forget to bookmark them/copy URLs to cite them in your rhetorical analysis!

Different genres will require different tools
