Unit 6 Capstone Multi-Genre Research Project This unit combines the essential question of the Core Curriculum, “The Road Not Taken,” with the objectives from the Massachusetts Framework, within the framework of an eighth grade capstone multi-genre research project. A multi-genre research project is a collection of pieces written on a variety of genres informed by student research, experience, and imagination on a particular subject that presents one or more perspectives on a research question. According to Tom Romano, “A multigenre paper is composed of many genres and subgenres, each piece self-contained, making a point of its own, yet connected by theme or topic and sometimes by language, images and content.” And, according to Camille Allen, “The paper is a collage of writing and artistic expression with an overarching theme that engulfs and informs the reader.”
 * Background**

The stage is set by Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Students will read the poem and connect to it by identifying their own roads, their own passions. Students will be encouraged to describe topics, trends, ideas, pursuits that they are passionate about, that matter to them. Topics could range from skateboarding to climate change. Students will be invited to pursue a passion from their intellectual/emotional/spiritual life, to use the project as a chance develop and answer a question involving a topic of consuming interest and to communicate learning through a multi-genre research project, containing the factual, the emotional, and the imaginative.
 * Introduction**

After inventory, brainstorm, discussion, and narrowing down the choices to one, students will write a claim that shows how this is a topic/passion that makes a difference or has the potential to make a difference in their life or someone else’s.
 * Procedure**

//Literature both reflects and influences our understanding of the greater good.// How can you identify your passion and express how it affects your life and can make a difference for others through various media? How can literature help us define the greater good? How do you determine what’s important in research?
 * Project Components:** Exploring the Big Ideas and Essential Questions
 * Big Ideas:
 * Essential Questions:
 * Literature: How can literature help define the greater good? inspire reader to make a difference?
 * Research (see librarian, pathfinder, research skills - more about topic/icons in the area)
 * Mentoring, Inquiry and Exploration: provide model and examples of various genre, check-ins, scaffold tasks
 * Product Components: title page, dear reader letter, table of contents, multigenre artifacts (research, narrative, technology piece, poem, other), works cited
 * Repetend: “creates unity among the pieces” phrase, message, question, quote, passage, symbol, logo, narrator, cartoon... somewhere in the heading of every page, unites the work.
 * Publish and Share: platform for bringing this to an appropriate audience, format for feedback. Part of portfolio? to Natick High School?

Mentoring Meet with students, use inventories to help start the conversation. Look for trends, topics, and possible applications for the project and beyond. Narrow down the topic, develop a thesis. Brainstorm symbol/logo for repetend.

I will have this piece of the project done by: 5. I will meet the highest level of the rubric by:

F) To write the letter of introduction, I want to describe what the topic/concept of the project is and explain why it is so important to me. I want to share the purpose of the project, what it means to me, and reflect upon the “journey” of learning I took in this project by describing the surprises I discovered and difficulties I overcame. I will assess my project and set the reader up well for what is ahead. CAPSTONE MULTIGENRE RESEARCH PAPER

This is a chance to pursue a passion in your intellectual/emotional/spiritual/artistic/athletic/physical life, a chance to strive to answer a question involving a topic of consuming interest to you and to communicate your learning through a multigenre research project, where you get at the factual and the imaginative. This is a time to try the untried and to be creative. Choose a person, idea, topic, trend, era, cultural phenomenon, movement, thing, place. . . and become the completely immersed learner on the trail of information vital to achieving peace of mind and satisfying your insatiable curiosity. Learn for the sake of learning, and learn to discover how finding your passion and applying it can help you to make a difference.

Pieces, genres, artifacts your multigenre project must contain: Title/Table of Contents (listing elements in order) Preface/Intro/Dear Reader (explain topic, inspiration, journey of learning, and self-assessment/reflection) Unifying Element (repetend, repeated image, phrase, key word, logo) Reading: Nonfiction or Fiction (review a work that inspires/made a difference to you) Research Piece (3 or more different sources: book, article, internet, primary source) Bibliography (three or more different sources of three different types) Easybib Narrative piece (fictionalized memory, story, fantasy, dialogue piece) Poem: contemporary free verse style (haiku, concrete) or traditional (rhyme scheme) Technological Piece (podcast, screencast, Imovie, keynote, glogster, museumbox) OR Additional Artifacts: History, Trivia, Little Known Facts, Jokes, Cartoon, Illustration, Art, Diagram, Dance, Song: Lyrics/Music, Sculpture, Board Game, Poster, Diarama, Skit, Advertisement, How to, Recipe, Brainframe, Time Line, Interview, Demonstration, Experiment, Advertisement, Collage, Photo Essay, Model (see attached list for more) Presentation: introduce topic and present one element from this project
