Nonfiction Essay For this project, you are to write a 4-5 paragraph standard essay on your non-fiction book. The paper should cover the first half of the book.

Multi-Genre Research Project: For this project you are to research a person, event, place, or issue of interest to you. You will choose a topic and research it just as you would for a traditional research paper.

Instead of the single, extended prose piece of a traditional research paper, though, this project will consist of a number of creative pieces in various genres—poetry, advice columns, journal entries, news articles, lists, art or graphics—imaginative writing based on fact. You’ll organize all that writing and put it in a topic-appropriate package.

You will need at least 5 pieces of writing totaling at least 1,300 words.
