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.

What questions remain…
