Project 3: Write up The Genre I am using to present project 3 at the Celebration of Student Writing is a poster board. I want to use the board as an aid to give a general idea of what I have been researching. Doing this will help me explain most of the project myself and I won’t have to rely on the board for the presentation of the project. For Project 3, I focused my topic on Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I avoided adding a lot of pictures so the board wasn’t overwhelmingly flashy. On the right hand side, I placed the effects of Autism. On the left hand side, I placed data from articles and summaries of the information to help explain how ASD effects intelligence. I kept this placement order from the original draft to make the board neat and organized. In the final product I had to expand the text so the audience could clearly see the information
