So far I have really enjoyed completing my multi-genre project. This project has caused me to reminisce about my past. I went back through a lot of the old books I used to read. I was a big fan of Chris van Allsburg's picture books as a child, so I have gone back and re-read a few of them. My all time favorite book by him was The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. It contained about fifteen pictures each with a little caption. I remember being so intrigued by this book that I would write my own stories to go along with the pictures.
Besides books, I have also gone through my collection of movies and found many of the movies that I would watch over and over again as a child. One such movie I stumbled across was an old animated Scooby Doo movie. I remember watching it countless times as a child. It was really great to see the movie again, and it brought back many memories! I have so far spent half the weekend watching old movies and T.V. shows. I watched a few episodes of one of my all time favorite shows as a child The Outer Limits. It was a scary show, and I can't believe I watched it as a four-year-old!
I am really enjoying going back through all my old favorite books, movies, music, and t.v. shows. I think that this would be a great project to assign to my future students. I think that they would have a good time reminiscing about their past, because I know I am!

I agree with you completely about the Multi Genre Project because I have been going back into my past and reminiscing about books and movies I'd completely forgotten. It's actually a really fun experience. I stink at the whole technology aspect of it though. On another note, I think this would be a fabulous project to assign to high school students because it could show them exactly how much multi-modal literacies affect their lives, without them even knowing it. I definitely plan to incorporate some form of this project into my class in the future because it would also help us get to know our students better.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see that other people enjoyed this project as much as I did! Matt, I'm glad that you would like to use this project in your future classroom too. I think that we could show our own presentations to the class, and that would let the students in on our own personal lives. I don't think we got to see your project yet.... can't wait!!
