Reflection on Multigenre Projects

All I can say is WOW!! All of the projects I listen to were wonderful.  Dr. Frye made a good point of how everyone put so much thought into these projects and how heart felt they were.  I listen to Ruby Bridges, Paula Dean, Civil War, Blackbeard, Walt Disney, Sandra Lee, Girl Scouts, Mail Order Brides, Child Obesity, Winchester’s and Butterflies.  I know there was so many more that were great that I didn’t get to hear!  But, above all I learned so much about so many things.  So, if I learned this much I know my students will as well.  I’m very excited about presenting this project to my class and inviting them to create their own.  I know they will be excited and get into this project like I did.  Thank you Dr. Frye I have learned so much from this class than any class I have been in, undergrador grad!  I have intergrated so many of these project to my classroom. It has opened my students eyes and minds to a whole different aspect of reading and writing within 4th grade!  They are excited because I’m excited about all these new ideas so, Thank you!
