Overview

Evolutions in technology and connectivity have brought about significant changes in the ways writing is produced and shared.

Jessica S. Early's Next Generation Genres provides an alternative framework for a secondary writing curriculum that places a central emphasis on helping students gain the experience they need to write with confidence in academic and civic life. If your students' eyes glaze over when they face a standard essay assignment, perhaps it's time to let them try writing an infographic or a podcast!
