A written genre that could help me to achieve my goals would be a report, in the form of a news letter probably. Which is why (thinking ahead for the next unit) I might present mine as a news report or a written report. As i feel like gentrification in poor colored communities is something that the news would focus on and report. I might go about learning to write in that genre by reading other news reports and articles written as such as that would help me to learn the format and elements necessary to properly execute said genre. A person or community i would like to hear from on my topic would be the poor and people of color that are living in poor communities that have been gentrified. Especially in New York. The reason why being this would be imperative to my research and topic, as they are the central focus of my work. My topic focusses on how gentrification effects them specifically. I could look to hear from this info from articles, news reports, televised first person points of view, etc. I believe hearing from these first person accounts will help to strengthen my writing and humanize my report for readers.

Great idea, Hasani. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to do this in time, but it might be cool if one of your source entries could be an interview with someone in one of the neighborhoods that are being gentrified (or it could be a number of quotes from a few people.). This doesn’t have to be long, but could give you some great material!!
