**Welcome to the Multigenre Research Unit Wiki**

 //"Each genre offers me ways of seeing and understanding that others do not. I perceive the world through multiple genres. They shape my seeing. They define who I am." -Tom Romano//  This Wikispace was created as a space for the publication of the Multigenre Research Unit I designed for 10th Grade English students at King High School in Chicago. My unit overview, calendars, rationales, and other great resources are all posted on pages identified on the left side of the site.

Some basic information on the Multigenre Research Unit:  1. This unit focuses on a student-chosen research topic as well as the concept of Form = Audience + Purpose.

2. The text used to model each genre will have an underlying theme that relates to the Great Depression.

3. Students turn in drafts of one technology genre and one visual genre while having their research progress assessed through Research Journals.

4. Students will compile a portfolio to display their research using at least four different genres.

Feel free to look around and take anything you feel will be useful to you!
