While working on my MGRP genres, I was shocked to see how much information I still was able to pry out of what I had already learned. The genres were much more important to me for the learning process because I am a very good last minute writer, and seem to be able to slide by in most things with ease. The genres however, required me to not only look at the information that was presented to me but also to take a personal look on the information and show my interpretation. I created a graffiti piece, diary entry, newspaper article, newspaper ad, and I AM poem. I learned so much more when completing these than I did in the research project. I believe that this is great insight into how I would like to run my classroom in the future. Although i do understand that writing a research paper is very typical and has its benefits, I think that children can get so much more from doing the research and turning it into their own genre of literature to present. I had my doubts about this project but was very pleased after completing the genres because I had finally found the strategy that resignated with the area and style of teaching that I hope to eventually work in.
I created a Glogster to show all of the genres that I used for this project. http://lcburbri.glogster.com/eleanor-roosevelt/
