This document provides an overview and agenda for a class on genre analysis. It outlines the following key points: 1) The goals for the class are to discuss readings by Devitt, Bawarshi, and Reiff, have students find three articles to analyze, and understand how to complete a preliminary genre analysis assignment. 2) Students are assigned to read Devitt's work and work on their preliminary genre analysis paper before the next class. 3) The class will break into groups to analyze different elements of genre, such as patterns, subjects, and features, and then present their findings on a class Facebook page. This will help students understand how to approach their assignment.
