 ROMP packaging and synthesis The goal of packaging and synthesizing your genres together in this project is to create a sense of purposeful coherence—a creative way for the project to come together so your audience can understand it.  Below are some ideas for ways other multigenre research writers have packaged their projects. Next to each, write down some ideas, pros, and cons about this strategy in relation to your own project.   ** Packaging - 5 common approaches ** (Note: these are suggestions, not requirements, so feel free to use others)  EXAMPLE: A collection of photos, letters, and memorabilia collected by a person who attended a famous event  || This will be nice to create with the parents perspective  || See the good points in Autism and see how to help them  || Most of my genres aren’t fit for a scrapbook and I don’t have personal things to present  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">EXAMPLE: A box of top-secret evidence or professional documents <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Nice way to package everything  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Keeps everything organized  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Not what I want for my topic because it doesn’t seem to fit in  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">EXAMPLE: A themed issue relating advertisements, articles, interviews, etc. to a single person, event, or problem <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Creative and something everyone reads and can relate to  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">It’s easy to find genres and in order  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Some things might not fit into something like that  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">EXAMPLE: Artifacts left behind in the attic or recovered after the war which give clues to the person or event responsible for their creation <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">This will be nice to see all the good times   || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">See how things change and how the issue impacted different people  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">  || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">EXAMPLE: A metaphor or symbol for the topic becomes the container (like film canisters for a project about a movie star) <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I like this idea.
