Making Research Real with Multigenre Research Papers

 

Multigenre Research Projects Summer 2008, Buffy Hamilton via kwout

Summer school has just ended, and I wanted to share with our Grizzly researchers a research project my summer school students undertook:  the multigenre research project.  Students were allowed to choose their topics, and indeed, our topics were diverse:  we had everything from John Elway to cardiac disorders to The Crusade to current events!  Take a look at my current resource page on teaching the multigenre paper:

Here you will find:

• My handouts in PDF format
• Blog reflections from the students
• Sample papers written by real high school students
• My favorite resources on teaching and learning with multigenre papers

What do you think?   My students responded quite positively to the entire project…do you think that you as a student researcher would be interested in doing a research project like this in 2008-09?  The multigenre research approach is great for general research papers as well as literary based research papers…participate in the poll below and let me know what you think!
