Multi-Genre Project: "Place" 

This unit is designed to lead secondary students through creating a multi-genre project based around the concept of “place.” This six-week unit design includes rationale behind the project, curriculum standards, and daily lesson plans to create a comprehensive unit for teaching the multi-genre project based on the concept of "place." 

This PowerPoint provides an introduction to the multi-genre project (MGP) on "place." In this presentation, "The Shire" serves as the "place" of focus. The presentation demonstrates how to incorporate multiple genres into one project. Students are given key definitions and introduction to the requirements of the project. 

This worksheet will guide students through the completion of the MGP. It will serve as an outline and rough draft for students to focus their research. The different sections of the worksheet cover different components of the project, from the final choice of focus to the people and history of the place, to the different genres students will incorporate.
