the topic i decided to do is autism. this was somewhat easy for me to pick because I want to become a teacher. I need to know how to teach a child who has autism.
 * Topic**

researching is going well. I found most of my resources. the toughest part is getting the last couple sources. since i'm a commuter, i can't receive the articles or journals online at home, which would be great so i can do it all at home.
 * Research**

picking genres is the hardest part for me. i have thought of a few types but i'm stuck on what others to do. since my topic is autism, i don't have much of a variety of appropriate genres to choose from, at least from what i can think of.
 * Genres**

so far researching and completing genres are going well. creating a brochure is hard but it will come out in te end. I still have no idea how I want to put all the genres together. I have an idea about having the genres relate to a whole life situaton of autism but then I'm not sure what other genres to make.

genre 1- diary entry, this was easy to make but it's hard to sound like a 9 yr old and know how one writes genre 2-recipe, wanted it to tell the symptoms but it didn't come out the way i wanted it, somewhat biased genre3- advise column, hard to sound professional and to have a variety of sentence structures

3/25/11 genre 4- brochure, hard to make one on my computer and can't find a good templet

3/28/11 i fnally figured out how to make my brochure better. I still don't know what other genres to do. I think i have an idea on how i want to put my project together. I might make a box and have a brain on it showing the areas where autism affects it and then link the genres together with the autism ribbon.

4/5/11 my 5th genre is completed. i still have to do all my revisions. i'm worried about my project because i'm not sure what my last genre is going to be and i'm not sure how i want to present the knowledge. the on;y thing i have an idea about is how i'm going to box my project.
