This document provides a menu of multigenre elements for a 10th grade literature and composition class to choose from for their final projects. It lists over 20 options for genres or artifacts students can use to convey their insights from research, including voice threads, glogs, animated videos, poems, scripts, songs, recipes, games, interviews, graphic novels, mind maps, social media pages, artwork, and more. Students are asked to consider why they are choosing a particular genre and what they want to show through it before selecting their project format.
