Multigenre projects are different genres that enable students to dig deep to write from a variety of perspectives. They force students to think creatively and “out of the box” while putting themselves into history with the character that they are researching.
I am excited about creating my own Multigenre project and allowing students to do so as well. I feel that this will excite them while they are learning. I would have loved to have been able to create a multigenre project rather than a research paper when I was in school. Just like the Moulton article says multigenre projects allow students to “know both their software and hardware far better than before” Mulitgenre writing allows students to use “real life” writings that they see and use in real life rather in school. Multigenre writing also allows students to have choice in their writing. They can choose not only who they may write about but what genre they will use….personally this excites me! To have a choice of a poster, theater ticket, journal entry, newspaper article, play, receipt, poem……the possibilities are endless.
I am a little nervous about beginning a mutigenre project with my class and the process to do so. I haven’t decided yet on a topic or a plan to introduce to my class……I am still pondering
