Multi-Genre Projects: Crumbled Creativity
While skimming through the provided list of multi-genre projects, I found the one titled 'Crumbled Creativity' to be the most interesting. I enjoyed how she incorporated her honest opinion with very blunt facts. She got her ideas to the reader very quickly by giving examples of what the ideal high school English student consists of using objects such as a syllabus, conversations, etc. I found it to be humorous just because the standard modern English student is piled with assignments based off of literature, but the assignments lack the opportunity to be creative on our own. English class should ideally help students to better their writing skills as a whole, which includes fishing for good ideas and being able to creatively put ideas together to form something interesting and worth reading. Instead, we are piled with readings and questions that only have one right answer. It is the sad truth, but if we spend all of our time focusing on the analytics of already-published pieces, what will be studied in English classes 20 years from now?
