Multigenre Research Paper

The multigenre research paper put a new twist on something I was already familiar with. I remember writing research papers in middle school but I never had to add genres to it. When I had to create the genres for my paper at first I did not understand why it was important but as I really thought about my different genres and how I was going to use them I understood their purpose. Creating these pieces really helped me think about my topic more in depth and understand the perspectives and view points of all the people it was affecting.
The Multigenre Research Paper book gives a lot of great ideas on how to make the most out of your different genres. I really enjoyed the section in chapter five where a student answered many questions about the character he or she was trying to understand. I have not been researching this person and I even got a better understanding of the person just by reading the student who has been researchings answers. I had no clue how many different ways a person could be creative with this project. The book provides a list of about 110 different options for genres. This is a great way for students to be creative and also get good practice on researching topics. The book was right in stating that this is a great way to expand students minds.
