Our Stories and Our Identity:A Multi-Genre Response to What We've Done and How That's Shaped Us
As a final project for 8th grade, we will create a multi-genre project as a way to reflect upon how our middle school years have shaped us into who we are today. A multi-genre project presents multiple perspectives on a topic to create a rich story and to present a visually appealing product for an audience.
