My genre is going to be a letter with an invitational twist to it, but I was also going to use an e-mail and flyers. I guess I'm mainly stressing a persuasive pathos, with some ethos and logos. Many people write letters for personal matters, and people normally send out invitations for personal events as well. However, some invitations are sent out of politeness, and there are many letters that are formal, like for business, and there are also complaint letters. E-mails are usually used as informal reminders/news bearers or personal correspondences. Flyers are used to get the word out. Normal, everyday people write in these genres; not necessarily great authors. These genres provide much freedom, because they can be informal, and are not set to a specific format (unless you consider a business letter). I found a great website with info about persuasive letter writing. It mentions how in a letter like this, you either expect the audience to accept/agree, or you don't and you really
are trying to persuade them. Also, when you write these letters, you ideally should include all the facts. I also found a website about persuasive flyers, and it says to use graphics and "a catchy headline." I'm not surprised it says to do this; most flyers are like this.
