MGRP Process

The Multi Genre Research Paper is one of the best academic projects I've ever done. It allows the researcher to have such a vast variation of topics to use and genres to do. The genres are really what makes this project so unique. In all typical research papers topics are picked, multiple resources are used to gain information, and in the end and findings are reported in a paragraph/ document format. These same aspects of a research paper still apply in the MGRP, but instead of stopping there things get took to the next step. The genres that can be used range from journal entries to movie trailer clips. A majority of genres like this allows for the students to pick how they want to complete the assignment; they allow for variation. My topic was learning/teaching in poverty and activities that allow variation are what these children need. Overall this project helped me as a teacher. I was able to pick a topic that will relate to my future and not only held my interest but also taught me a lot on the issue. I give the experiment/assignment an A+...perfect for any area, any class, any student!
