The MULTI-GENRE PROJECT is designed to improve math and  reading skills, by promoting engaged learning through the use of technology. The term "Multi-Genre" is used to indicate the use of a variety of writing styles. The traditional research paper was an example of expository writing. This project proposed that all freshman students use a combination of  writing styles that may include creative, journalistic, poetic, first-person narrative reports, as well as persuasive and expository writing to complete a 5-7 page booklet, newspaper or dterm paper. Students determine the format of their papers.

Writing skills and algebra teachers worked collaboratively with  students to produce their projects. Students established a position on their selected topics, read to gain insights into differences of opinion, then supported their arguments with appropriate data analysis. The MULTI-GENRE PROJECT serves as a catalyst to prepare students to survive and thrive in tomorrow's technological society.
