Question 1: assessment activity

When it comes to the meaning of "genre", it all depends in the matter of context in which one is writing. Lets take this class's use of blogger.com - such a system is it's own genre. This particular genre requires the simplest form of babbling and whatnot. The main conern in how a genre is formulated is very dependent on the particular audience. Whether one is discussing an analyses over a newly discovered scientific phenominon or whether a student is just sharing a poem he has written to his class, either of these writers wrote their assignments according to the requirements of his audience. Different genres may require different tones, different information, different requirements, etc, etc. But as long as one appeals to the audience with the correct supporting and strong information, a particular genre is endless.
