Perhaps more popularly known as the "multigenre paper" coined by Tom Romano.

In short, I had my students write personal narratives and use Padlet to enhance their stories with the multimedia elements of their choice.

If students want to supplement their writing with a performance piece, such as performing a dance, then they could simply use their Padlet as a hub for hosting videos of their performances.

Students use NoRedInk.com's Guided Draft for Narratives to write their traditional personal narrative.

And they make their own Padlets to create multimedia/multigenre pieces that enhance their narratives.

The possibilities on Padlet are essentially limitless.

Students can create from scratch like I did for this presentation.

They also have DOZENS of templates, which they call recipes. These are prefabricated for many functions. I would argue that many - maybe all of them - could be adapted to supplement a personal narrative.

The impact on learning is improved student authenticity. Students can use this learning opportunity with its digital tools to tailor a more unique, personalized, and student-based product. Time is telling us that the more student-based, the better.

I am reminded of a painter’s color palette or a writer’s vocabulary; the more we have, and the better we understand them, the more authentic our expression may be.

Despite whatever students choose to do with their Padlet, I require that they also add a brief audio recording where they explain how their multimedia elements complement or enhance their narrative.
