1.The Worst Birthday Ever

Introduction:
I fell, and I fell hard. The rushing adrenaline, shocking scoreboard, and the heart pounding clock had finally pushed me over the edge. On January 5th, 2007, my worst fear had come true. Feeling a sharp pain in my left foot, I could hear the bone cracking. I limped off the court only to find my mom waiting with a bag of ice. However the pain was unbearable. I left the game only in time to see the final points scored by number 7 on the Calvary team. The crowd went wild with applause, as my team mates heads hung in shame.



Genres: 1. My first genre is going to be a Poem about the anxiety and suffering i went through from the time i was told i had bone cancer in my leg till the point where all my worst dreams were not confirmed.
2. My second genre is going to be the main Story of what happened, which will include all the background information, tiny details, and the effects of what happened. This genre will be spread out through my multi-genre paper.
3. My third genre is going to be an Illustration of the x-ray of my foot/leg which includes the bump of "bone cancer."
4. My fourth genre is going to be a dialogue conversation between my mom and I in the car on the way to the doctors office to get a CAT scan.
5. My fifth and final genre is going to be an obituarary to the cancer cell which never formed and hopefully never will. This will conclude my story and hopefully leave things on a funnier note.

That sounds really interesting and will keep readers at the edge of their seats. The genres will work perfectly with the story... This will turn out awesome as long as you don't mess it up...
