After reading the article by Moulton and the chapters in Writing Without Boundaries I understand what a multigenre writing consist of.  I’m so excited about teaching this within my class.  As a fourth grade teacher I sometimes feel that we only have to write for the writing test.  I think that multigenre writing is a way to make students love to write and learn at the same time and this is so exciting!  I would start this type of writing at the first of the year and expand on it throughout the year.  I feel that students will enjoy this type of writing and it will help tremendously with their writing fluency.  The article and the book explains that multigenre writing encourages creativity in several ways.  The students learn different types of genres but they also create art, poetry, music, short stories and other creative styles of writing.   The students learn to work together and give corrective criticism on each others writings. I agree that as a teacher you need to have several examples of these types of writing for the students to better understand what their final product should look and sound like.  I agree with the readings that this will give the students a personal connection to their writing and help them gain more of an understanding of the topic they are researching.
