Reading as a Writer of Genres and Exercises in Genre

While reading these two articles I learned a variety of different ideas. I learned that a quad consists of 4 blocks that contain a "do", "plan", "check", and "act". I had never heard of a quad as a genre before and I was also introduced to a new genre called an A3 which refers to the size of paper used, 11x17. While quads and A3's are similar, they can be different too. An A3 delivers a solution to a problem and a quad chart can do different tasks. Also, I learned that publishers are the last step in the writing process; they arrange for advertising and marketing parts of the book. Every part of a book is specifically laid out; the front cover has an attention grabbing picture and a bolded title whereas the copyright information is in a small font on the inside cover because most people do not read that information. Every reader has a natural understanding of how they are supposed to read specific genre.
