HW: Get started on Blog #8
Blog #8: Research a genre or medium of composition in which you are interested in working for your second unessay. What are the conventions of that genre? What are common layouts? What are common themes? Who are common audiences? These are not hard and fast rules; it is okay to "break the rules of the genre" (when writers say this, it generally a compliment), but like they say, to break the rules, you gotta know the rules. I might edit to say you should probably know the rules, because there are those rare birds who need not pay attention to rules and conventions, but it's always safe to assume you're not one of those people until experience proves you otherwise.
