Kim Cuevas - Multigenre Research
I no longer have a classroom of my own, but when I did, I was proud of the fact that my students always did a lot of writing and a lot of different types of writing, even when the school where I taught really only thought that students should do literary analysis. Having my students find their voice and write from their heart was very important to me, and I was often proud of the writing they accomplished. I loved being the teacher who allowed a lot of free choice in writing in my classroom because that was not the norm in my early years of teaching, so I guess I was proud to be a bit of a rebel.
My demonstration is titled, “Multigenre Research: Traditional Research in Non-Traditional Formats.” When I took the ISI, one of our required readings was _Writing with Passion_ by Tom Romano. He discussed multigenre research in his book, but he had done it with senior AP students and college freshmen, and it was a very open project. I loved the idea, but I taught high school freshmen, and I knew I would need to create a much more structured assignment for it to work. I was very proud of this because after I did it, the idea really took off at my school, and it became a standard research project at both our freshman level and sophomore honors level. Personally, I like the idea because I think that it is a great way to teach research skills and formats while still allowing students to keep their voice and self-expression, and it is completely adaptable in any content area and grade level.
Can’t wait for this summer!!
