WOW!  I was so impressed with everyone’s hard work.  I gained many neat ideas through your creative ideas.  I learned so much new information on a wide variety of topics from Norway to Elvis.  I can honestly see how students can learn a lot of new knowledge through multigenre projects and presentations.  The genres stuck in my brain because they are active and emotional like Toni’s performance and Mary and Kari’s story.  How could you forget any of the presentations?!

Here are my favorite parts of each presentation in our group-

Toni’s presentation on Donnie McClurkin-the dance moves…AWESOME and very touching!  You reminded us how Christ will help us through our hard times.

Jennifer’s presentation on Abraham Lincoln-the box was really neat to tie all the genres together and I like the concrete poem of Abe’s hat.  I also liked the paper that you had all of your writings on…it looked old:)

Holly’s presentation on Ada Byron Countless-I loved your awesome scrapbook, diary, and neatly decorated CD case and the music you shared from your computer.  You are so crafty!

Heather’s presentation of Loggerhead Sea turtles-the turtle cut-out scrapbook was very creative and cool!  I learned a lot of information about sea turtles that I never knew.  Very informative!

Kari’s presentation on the history of Norway-her father’s story was very touching!  You should go into scrapbooking because your scrapbook was so neat, organized, and professional looking.  I’m sure your scrapbook will bring tears to your father’s eyes…it did mine.

Nicole’s presentation of Edgar Allan Poe-You are an amazing writer.  I like how you wrote a book with different chapters with a lot of information.  The inserts within your book were very creative!

Sonia’s presentation on Butterflies-Your scrapbook was VERY CUTE!  It was colorful, eye-catching, and informative.  I would like to share your project on the life cycles of a butterfly with my class. 

Christy’s presentation on Elvis-All I can say is…Elvis was here!!!  I loved your intro music.  It set the mood.  I found out that Elvis had a twin brother who died. Your visual was awesome!

Mary’s presentation of Ellis Island-Very touching!  Thanks for sharing something so special and personal.  You motivated me to learn more about my ancestors and my history.

In conclusion, I learned lots of things through others multigenre presentations and I enjoyed EVERY minute of everyone’s presentation!  Thanks!!!
