EXPLORING THE GENRE: Topic Proposals

4. How many paragraphs?
7-9 paragraphs

8. How much of the content of this genre is based on observation? How much on “internal” thoughts about the matter? How much directly about goals of the genre, potential audiences, and future work on the topic?
Based on observation: 45-65%
Based on internal thoughts about the matter: 10-30%
Based on other things: 25%
Note: These are ROUGH estimates only!

12. What’s the nature of the relationship between writers and readers in this genre?
The writer is entitled to his/her own opinion but readers expect a critical stance toward those opinions on the part of the writer. The reader is almost always in a position of authority over the writer (boss/employee, instructor/student).
