Some more thoughts on Multigenre

For me, mutigenre writing is a way to explore anything, gather knowledge about a subject, and present it in a unique and creative way, contrary to typical essays. I think multigenre is exciting as well. I mean you take research, which most people don't mind doing, and infuse it into this masterpiece on a topic, much better than sitting down and typing 6-7 pages on anything. You can put anything in it too that shares information. For my project, I am doing childhood obesity and presenting it in a way that is comical and appropriate for my kindergarten students. It is basically going to be a battle between adults (parents, doctors, etc.) and a child and how the child only likes to eat junk. I think this will be a fun way to present this to my students. It is kind of like the I Wanna Iguana book where the little boy keeps writing letters to his mom telling her why he should get his neighbors pet iguana when he moves. We have really been focusing on health recently from February so it would be a perfect time to bring this up. Another thing I like about mutigenre is that it can tap into the lower grades. I mean, kindergarten would be a little difficult, but 1st, 2nd grade, sure no problem! It would be a fun way to engage students in writing without stressing them out and boring the daylights out of them.
