Ideas for MGP / confusion
Although I am pretty confused about this paper, two of the topics that I am trying to focus in on are How to teach Of Mice and Men in the classroom or how to use technology in the classroom. The thing that confuses me is the 5 different genres.. Do I have to pick five different genre's that I could use to help teach Of Mice and Men? For instance, bring in a poem about friendship or have them write a newspaper article of Lennie's obituary? (those types of things). Those two topics are ones that I am interested in, and I think once I have a more clear understanding of what the 5 genre's really are all about I will be able to begin this paper.

We talked about this a bit, so I hope you're less confused;
ReplyDeletethe mgp challenges students to think about a research paper more in terms of exploring a problem and a solution... and to do so through different genres that illustrate the problem and solution... so yes, if you were interested in approaches to teaching M/Men, you would want to think about how you would dramatize this solution in your paper--perhaps an obituary assignment, or poetry... the point is that all of the different parts hang together as a researched effort into exploring this problem...
