I really enjoyed this article. As a future teacher I think we always need to be searching for new ideas and ways for students to present information. The idea of this multi-genre paper is a great idea that implements numerous ways of presenting information. The whole purpose of this paper is to explain the process of the multi-genre paper. This type of paper allows for students to present traditional information in a non-traditional way. I really enjoyed the way the students were allowed to use any number of writing styles. The paper talks about how the students are able to incorporate their own take on the information rather than regurgitating something that they have researched. The idea that you could make a birth certificate, newspaper clipping, wanted poster, song lyrics etc. really gives the student a chance to run with this project as long as they can justify why a certain format was used. I could see how this would be fun.

My questions concerning this topic would be

1. How can you be sure that the grading for something like this is fair?

2. Does the research become compromised in exchange for creativity?

3. Would you be able to use this with EC kids?

4. How would this work in other areas like Math?
