Multigenre Research Projects Summer 2008, Buffy Hamilton via kwout
It is a work in progress, and it will have to be moved in a few weeks as our district moves from FrontPage to Sharepoint (boo hoo!), but here is my current resource page on teaching the multigenre paper.
Here you will find:
- My handouts in PDF format
- Blog reflections from the students
- Sample papers written by real high school students
- My favorite resources on teaching and learning with multigenre papers
While I have dabbled with this project with short stories, this is the first full scale effort I have completed with a general research topic. I would like to do a full scale project of this nature with a novel next year…it is just hard sometimes with my night school pumpkins, especially with the EOCT course, because of the time factor. However, I am really pleased with my efforts this summer, and I already have ideas on what I will do again, and what I will do to make this project even better!
I need a few days to clear my mind, rest, and reflect before I write my final blog post about this research experience. However, I can say that I highly recommend it! I will be writing more soon on what I feel that my students and I learned from this research experience.
