  Multigenre Projects B band

Posted by Meenoo Rami in Reading, Writing, and Rising Up - Rami - B on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 7:48 am

During this quarter, my students have been on a multigenre research journey.  They were asked to to pursue a passion in their intellectual/emotional/spiritual life, to explore a chance  to strive to answer a question involving a topic of consuming interest to them and to communicate their learning through a multigenre project.  This is where they got at the factual, the emotional, and the imaginative. This was a time to be daring, to try the untried. 


Students chose a person, idea, topic, trend, cultural phenomenon, movement, thing, place and were asked to become the quintessential, mad-obsessed researcher who follows this research thread until their insatiable curiosity about the topic was satisfied.   


This work was inspired and guided by the work of Tom Romano.


Students have published their work on a website, please check them out, comment, and share widely:

Write to Connect

Posted by Roger Bracy in Reading, Writing, and Rising Up - Rami - B on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 9:49 am

I write to connect my life to others. I share my experiences through texts and thought to them to spark their new ideas. I connect writing to my family, I feel that I come from a family of poets they're always writing they never seem to run out of words. I connect to my emotions to my writing, I can relax and get my feelings out with words. I write to connect to my inner talent as a writer, to challenge myself to be better than what I am.

How does writing help you connect?

Writing allows not only me, but every other person on this earth connect in various different (and similar) fashions. For instance, some people write in a journal or diary everyday so they can connect with their feelings and let go of some burdens in life. Another case of this is the forms of writing within social networks. As of 2006, Twitter calculated that approximately 300+ million tweets are written every single day. That is A LOT! With all of these messages/tweets being sent out every day, there are 300+ million ideas being written, published, shared, and pursued. This form of connection is probably one of the most powerful, yet simple forms out there. It takes little to no effort to write 140 characters (Twitter's character count per tweet limit), but it requires a lot of effort to write something that has meaning. One last example of writing to help you connect is an author writing a book. For instance, we read a book calledDrown by Junot Diaz. This book was Diaz's way of connecting with people around the world, telling the personal story about his life growing up as a poverty-stricken boy, also have troubles with love and confusion in his life. Him writing this book gives people the opportunity to learn from his endeavors and mistakes. Out of all of the examples of connecting through writing, I'd say that writing a book is the finest and most eloquent. The formality of this type of writing is what really set's aside from the others... but in a good way! To close, I'll say that when it comes to connecting through writing, the number of ways to do so is endless; the sky's the limit.

I am not the most outgoing person however I love writing stories that have bold outlandish characters that each have little parts on myself in them. These characters connect to people on levels that I normally would never be able to. Whether it be through the characters race, past experience, or environment. Writing helps me connect to other people.

​
 
 For as long as I can remember I've been locked up inside my own little world. A world where no one's opinions could hurt me or tare me down. Being Introverted person I never have an easy time making friends or more importantly sharing my ideals. Then I discovered writing and suddenly I felt my world opening up. I usually never let myself show in my writing, but little by little I let my experiences show. I give people a little taste of who I am and what I know in every little world I create. 

 I use fiction as a door way to who I am and how my mind really works. There is nothing i love more than when someone complements my work because, then it's like a little piece of me has finally been recognized as something more than that one girl who sits all alone in the corner of a room and types. It's like I'm finally being seen as a person. I use my writing to prove to the world that there is more to me than what they think they know or see. I am not just some girl. I am a creative person who has bad experiences with opening up. I am not stuck up or mean. I am afraid of everyone and everything. All you need to do is read a story I wrote and listen to the voices that tell my story and the stories of many others like me. 


That is how I write to connect how do you?

Write to connect

Posted by Diamond Blenman in Reading, Writing, and Rising Up - Rami - B on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 9:46 am

I believe writing lets out my inner animal. Writing is what makes me sane. Writing doesn't have to be something big and connect to something greater than yourself. For me writing helps me connect to me. Writing is my access to finding myself. When I write I don't just write simple obvious stuff. I write everything and anything that comes to my brain. No matter how vulgar and raunchy it is, I put it on paper. Honestly that's my only outlet. Writing is my freedom. My classmate told me to "write, let yourself free Diamond". Before that I was hesitant to write, like people from the hood don't write. Then when I started it was like. Frank Lucas probably use to write. To sum this all up Writing helps myself connect with the real world, and writing sets me free.

Write to Connect

Posted by Margaret Hohenstein in Reading, Writing, and Rising Up - Rami - B on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 9:45 am

I write to connect. That is the main reason why I write. I write because it exposes myself. Writing allows me to do this because it lets me share things that I never thought I could talk about without showing people everything about who I am. People know me without knowing me. Writing out these moments and stories that live in my head put myself in a new, slightly uncomfortable position; having others read them becomes even more uncomfortable. For some reason I continue sharing my writing; I continue to expose myself in this way because I love it, it's worth the uncomfortable feeling.

I also write to connect with ideas. Nearly every night I write in a journal. This is an attempt to connect with the ideas that are flying around in my head. Writing them out allows them to form fully and fully formed ideas are much easier to connect with. Even though no one else reads this writing I feel as though I understand myself better.

I am a writer, I am a novelist. My writing has put my into a world full of all types of people. I have met and connected with people over the ideas that we put into words. I have been exposed to new challenges and experiences because of words.

How does writing help you connect. 

     Writing help you connect with a lot of things. Such as your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and etc. Wrting shows your thoughts about what you thing about the quote, story, or the actual subject without saying it out loud in class.  Writing is not only that it helps you connect by showing the readers what are the important things, but it shows other readers your thought, and what you feel is best. Writing is just a better way to answer question without saying them out loud. Another example is a diary. Writing it down in a book and not express you feelings to life you can just express it in writing. Thats how i connect.

National Day of Writing- Jonathan Spencer

Posted by Jonathan Spencer in Reading, Writing, and Rising Up - Rami - B on Monday, October 21, 2013 at 9:45 am

Writing helps me connect because many ideas can be shared through writing. The imagination can be put on a piece of paper in a way that words out loud cannot always portray. I like that in writing one can jot down their thoughts, share their opinions and tell awesome stories.

I think writing helps me connect because I can say whatever it is that Im feeling. Also writing helps me get out my creative side. I think when I write, I am able to use as many descriptive words as I feel. I think writing about how you feel can also help you connect with other people. Maybe you and someone feels the same way.

Writing helps me connect to inner worlds of imagination and magic, it allows me to create worlds where I am a master and to it allows me to connect to other people in such ways also it is a place I can seek shelter.
