Creative Writing: Multigenre Research Paper
This is a chance to pursue a
passion you have in Creative Writing. Or
you might want to research and write about an area that you simply want to know
more about. You will research
extensively and then communicate your learning through a multigenre research
project where you meld the factual, emotional, and imaginative. Use anything available to you for creation,
discovery, and communication. Try the
untried. Risk everything.
Your multigenre research
paper is due ___________________________.

work from you.
