Crafting Digital Writing:
Composing Texts Across Media and Genres
by Troy Hicks
When considering how to respond to this excellent book, I was inspired by an example project on the MAPS for a response to another book, and that is to take a current writing assignment and improve it. I have chosen to take a different approach on how 8th grade students will conduct and write research which will allow them to compose texts across medias and genres. Students will be creating a Wiki to explore Colleges, Universities and More!. The entire assignment is given in Wiki form and can be found at: https://mcclainsresearchessay.wikispaces.com.
