Meet Greddy from Costa Rica



Here is a little something to think about…
If you were told you could take a trip anywhere, where would you go, what would you do there and what would you bring in your suitcase?
This is what Greddy said…

He also LOVES Harry Potter. He expressed how he would “do anything” to have a copy of Harry Potter. His teacher is making a copy of each chapter, one at a time. When he returns one chapter, he gets the next…we take so much for granted in this country. :(

Please click on multigenre-projectnotes3.doc  FOR TODAY’S CLASS. 

As many have said, seeing is believing! In today’s workshop, you will have an opportunity to explore books/ologies published as multigenre works. Working from Youngs’ and Barone’s model, explore and interact with the various books; use your handout Multigenre Projects: Getting Started in the Classroom and your textbook Writing Without Boundaries to guide your inquiry today.

  1. As a group, choose one book; jot down your:
  •  Impressions
  • Connections
  • Wonderings (pp. 26-27 textbook)

     2.  Make a list of the plethora of genres represented in your book. Please refer to your handouts (possible genres) and the book for assistance.    3.   Choose a few genres (split this up) and use the genre discussion guide (pp. 55-63) as you explore, in-depth, this genre.    4.   Discuss possible ideas for your individual projects. What questions remain…
