Multigenre essays are an effective writing assignment for students K-16 because it is more challenging and interesting to both student and teacher. It allows the writer to really be a writer and choose the genre that fits the writing task rather than forcing students to write within a very restrictive, and usually entirely false, format. It is also a way to help students create large projects by breaking the project into smaller manageable chunks.
Multigenre also can work in a number of subject areas as a way for students to review or research an unlimited number of topics.
By giving your student writers some choice and freedom you will likely receive much more than you ask for. When was the last time you had that happen with a writing assignment?
