Using Multigenre Writing

I am choosing to do my I-search paper on multigenre writing. I believe that this type of writing would encourage and challenge all students. From this project I hope to learn how to incorporate this into a classroom of middle school students. I believe that this age allows for students to begin to develop into the type of writer they can become. I think it is important to find writing assignments and projects to help students explore writing and communication. What makes multigenre writing effective, is something that I hope is uncovered.
It would seem that this type of writing project would allow students to use mutliple writing genres they are familar with and enjoy using. As one article talks about multigenre writing allows for the meaning to dictate the form instead of the form to dictate the meaning. I think this would be very important for students to express themselves. Multigenre writing allows the student to use a variety of poetry, expository,narratives, letters, etc. to create their writing assignment. If a teacher were doing a research project instead of writing a 8 page paper about a subject and all of it's facts a student could use multigenres to bring that subject to life.
I hope to find that this type of writing is benefical for the classroom and that I learn a way to incoporate in the classroom. If anybody has any thoughts or suggestion let me know.
