  1. Reading for meaning REVISED—-Close Reading Rubric 

  2. MLA Essay REVISED—-Writing Process Rubric

Course Summative: MGP

The Multigenre Paper/Project

Multigenre Review: Review two multigenre papers. 

The Multigenre Paper/Project Instruction Document: Read and leave comments on the document:

  • Comment on one learning goal that you will focus on in the creation of your MGP
  • Highlight the success criteria that support that learning goal and leave your name in the comment box
  • Comment on at least two other places in the document. This can also mean that you are asking questions for clarification or it could mean that you are annotating for your own thinking.

Begin work on your Final Reader’s note or plan focused on theme.

Word of advice:

Remember not to fall into summarizing the story through your genres. 

Keep your eye on your thesis statement. What support does each genre offer it?
