Summary:
Rapid changes in technology and connectivity have brought about monumental shifts in the ways writing is produced and shared. Yet the way we teach writing has remained largely static. In Next Generation Genres, Jessica Singer Early provides a guide to using a fresh set of genres for secondary writing instruction: genres that will speak to students who are already immersed in rich and multifaceted literacy practices through social media, gaming, and new technologies. If your students' eyes glaze over when they're assigned a standard essay, let them try crafting a podcast, artist statement, or infographic instead! Early shows how to effectively teach these and other contemporary genres with plenty of sample assignments, model texts, digital tools, writing workshop tips, and student examples--back cover.
