Hello again,
I just wanted to touch base on the MultiGenre Autobiography assignment one more time to talk about some things that I didn't mention in my last blog post. It occured to me to discuss briefly my thoughts on using this assignment with my future classes. This an assignment that I will most definitely like to use with my students of the future. It is a great way to get students involved and serves the purpose of getting students to know one another and start building community. I realized from what I saw of the other presentations that we are not all different from one another. Sure, we all have very different, and distinct choices in entertainment, but I also saw a lot of repetition in the movies, music, and TV shows that we liked to watch growing up. Perhaps students in a high school classroom doing this sort of assignment would find that they and their classmates share more commonalities than they thought, and this could be huge in fostering new friendships!
Now for the foreseeable (sp?) undoing of this assignment. I would imagine that this assignment may be difficult to facilitate for reasons such as: students not having steady access to computers/internet, helping students with technical difficulties, listening to students excuses of how they can't get it done because "XYZ" didn't save, and so on. Yet, I still think that this is an assignment that could be a ton of fun for students, and I see it as being a wonderful community builder exercise.
Until next time, stay classy San Diego!
-Sam
