Multi-genre group

I thought it was a great idea to get into GROUPS to do these multi-genre pieces, not only did we come up with an amazingly interesting topic (MTV REALWORLD!!) but it was a great way to make sure that everyone could contribute in a way that they maybe exceeded the most (drawings, poems, stories, etc) or even trying something different, but everyone had to research in some way. This could've been a downfall, since researching seperatly on a group project can become tricky especially since everyone uses the internet now.

Something I didn't expect to like: handouts. Sadly to say, I don't read a lot of handouts, especially if they are all in a big book like the group did. But everything they gave out really helped me understand when and how to use a multi-genre project, what the pro's and cons are, and what almost a dictionary definition of what it is and can be used in it. I think I would really use these, and am planning on keeping them, hopefully until I teach.
