This course will develop your skill in identifying, researching, and manipulating genres that are practical to your chosen field of study and that you find interesting.
Genre knowledge and practice will be applied to communities in which you have been or are already a part of, communities you are gravitating toward, and communities for which you have an important message.
In the reading of chapter 2, the book talks about how to connect and engage your audience when telling a story. I can relate this to my own personal narrative. I engaged my audience by telling a story about being a teenager. I know my audience is classmates, so I wanted to use a relatable story that others may be going through. The chapter also talks about ethos, pathos, and logos which is extremely important and relevant when communicating with others. I think when telling a personal narrative, paths is most important because you can make someone else really feel the way you felt.
