Does the project have unity? Yes Can you see how the writer created cohesion among the pieces? If so, how? They used a specific incident to tie together all of the pieces. They also used different leaders in the community that students may look up to, to write letters. If you cannot detect how this was done immediately, how do you think cohesion might be created in a topic like this? 1. 2. 3. ©2006 by Melinda Putz from //A Teacher’s Guide to the Multigenre Research Project.// Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. **HANDOUT 2 **
