Genre Discussion !

One of the topics I mentioned in Unit 2 writing was about bringing back Home Economics to schools . I talked about the reasons why it should remain being taught in schools . I showed sources that gave an idea on why . One of those reasons were to due with being more healthy , It does not have special testing that other schools will see in the future and the benefits of the course itself , History of Home Economics and a description of it’s courses back in the days and A Film about a student who is deciding to choose Home Economics as one of her classes for next semester . I believe that students in high school should hear about my research because they are about to end a chapter of their lives soon . This can be beneficial for juniors and seniors . Let me begin with High School Seniors  , As their about to end their high school career they will soon face a peek of adulthood after graduation , Some of seniors might move to other states to attend college . Others can decide not to go for financial reasons but will work , Imagine when you start a life without a school you need to become more responsible by paying your bills , sustaining yourself , or learn the basic of your home such as cooking !  For the Juniors , Although they are not near graduation but should consider that time will go fast ! They will be able to observe the concepts of Home Economics such as cooking and more to be prepared .  The best genre to send this message is by creating my own comic . Why you may ask ? Why not a simple article ? High Schooler’s want to know something by seeing eye catching materials , It is considered fun for them and won’t bore them at all . From my recent experience , I remember in one of my art classes our teacher showed us films . The point is that with a material like a comic my audience will be able to see the outcomes of the Home Economics Courses and How it will be useful for their futures .

    The genre that you chose being a comic is a great genre for the topic you covered in unit 2. The genre fits perfect for the audience you intend to direct your comic towards. You say “I believe that students in high school should hear about my research” however, later on you highlight the two grades that would be impacted the most. With the genre being inspired from a film that caught your attention goes to show that you know your audience. With your genre being a comic it is perfect for your audience as a comic can captivate a reader and get points, facts and information across in an engaging manner. To see the change in genre is promising, as I think your comic will be perfect. I find it really cool that you chose this topic and directed it towards highschoolers. With the information they’d learn from your comic. I think it will have an overall positive impact on them. Schools don’t really expand their boundaries when it comes to learning but to incorporate an important class that helps young adults in society later on is great. I think with everything you prepared and have laid out will be captivating.
