Putting your paper together:
1) Create a table of contents. List the title of each genre,
2) List the references you used using proper work cited format
3) Create a cover for your paper with the title and illustrate it by hand or use a PAINT program on the computer. Only student-generated art will be accepted. Artwork is another type of genre (a picture is often worth a 1,000 words!)
