Yay for Multigenre Writing :)

I have never heard of the Multigenre Paper before we discussed it in class on Thursday. I think it is a creative, yet very informational way to writing after a project or novel. I am really looking forward to writing this paper. Not only because of the freedom that comes along with this type of paper, but also it is a great way to get your ideas out in the open and have people be interested in reading what you have to say. I believe students would prefer writing a paper like this. It may be a little longer in length, but it consists of a number of different elements of writing. It not only teaches them how to address an audience in the form of writing a short, formal paper, but it also gives the writer the ability to construct other dimensions of writing such as poetry, journal writing, blog entries, and so on! If a writer is not confident in one way of writing, then he/she could show their skill through another way. I think my favorite thing about this type of writing is the freedom:)! I really wish I had the ability to write an essay like this in high school and even in my first few years of college. It gives the educator a great way to looking at each students individual abilities instead of giving them a  flat, dry topic and way to writing.
