After reading the article, I really wished that I could have done a Multigenre Project in high school and college to replace all the boring research papers I had to write. It sounds like the majority of students got more out of their Multigenre Project than writing a research paper. Multigenre writing seems to give students freedom, creativity and a since of ownership over thier topic.
I am a little nervous and excited at the same time about starting my Multigenre Project. I am not really sure how I can bring this down to a 1st grade level. I am open for any ideas or suggestions.
