Reflection on multigenre presentations

The multigenre presentations were nothingless than incredible! So many artistic forms were presented as genres in so many manners. Tony's dance to model the strengths and struggles of her subject was absolutely moving and really was a new age interpretation. All of the presentations had some kind of personal connection to the author and that really showed through in the selection of genres and the details that some of these projects had. I know that Michelle's project on the Winchester heiress was more of an 'ology'. She really had some interesting details and little lift up things and wedding invitations to pull out and it was just so meticulous! Robin had a little Rickey (a real mouse) and Mickey Mouse dialogue that posed the question why does Mickey get all of these special treatments when poor little Rickey has to scrounge around for food? I thought that was really cute!! Jamie's Mail Order Bride topic was rather interesting and I would really like to know how she chose that topic. I mean, of all things, where does mail order bride pop into your head? It was very entertaining and I liked how she knew additional background about that time period, such as the wedding dress colors reflecting how the bride felt on that day. Over and over again I saw some really thoughtful projects and learned some really interesting things that never would have come out of research papers. Now that it is done, I am relieved and looking for a break, but I did really enjoy this project and would like to continue using this approach in future years. Thanks for all of the wonderful information everyone! Great Job!!!!!
