Multi-Genre Social Issue Unit

Rationale: This unit is a scaffolded multi-genre writing unit about social issues. It
will fall in December because the three different genres of writing used
argumentative, informational, and personal narrativewill be taught in the earlier
four months of the school year. The goal of this unit is for students to explore
social issues that affect the real world and their personal lives through their ability
to write in these different genres. By writing in multiple genres about issues that
affect them personally, the students will be able to find the connection between the
individual genres of writing, the writing processes, and themselves as peers in the
same classroom working towards the same goal. Students will learn the
significance of supporting arguments with evidence across genres and finding the
connectedness in these genres and arguments.

Key Learning Objectives:

Students will demonstrate application of multi-genre writing through the use


of argumentative, informational, and narrative aspects by writing a reflection
about a thought-provoking image based on prior knowledge; personal
opinions, thoughts, and ideas, and information provided during class.

Students will demonstrate understanding of vocabulary words by writing a


free-write that demonstrates their ability to use the words in context with a
prompt.

Students will demonstrate analysis and support of a central theme in multiple


sources such as stories, news articles, and personal examples by creating a
multi-page website that shows their use of argumentative, informational, and
personal narrative writing.

Students will demonstrate appraisal and critiques of other students Weebly


websites by filling out the grade sheet for each of the other groups websites,
giving each group a certain point amount for each of the requirements and
providing a two-sentence justification with suggestions for revision and
editing.

DEMONSTRATION

5.
I chose to respond to image five, which depicts a human figure standing in a dark room looking through a
periscope shaped and colored like the Facebook logo. The periscope, which appears to be shooting out of
a barred window, is attached to a door that assumedly leads outside of the dark room. The door is open so
that the human could probably leave, and it is bright and grassy outside. This photo resonated with me
personally because I feel that there is a social issue around people receiving all of their outside knowledge
from social media instead of going outside and experiencing life for themselves. This specifically applies
to cultural groups, which have been systematically discriminated against based on stereotypes that are
typically spread through different kinds of media. While other people can leave the door to see that not all
people of different cultures are as they appear on media, the people who stay inside the dark rooms
looking through the lens of social media all of the time are only getting the single story glimpse of these
different cultures. This causes them to adopt these stereotypes for their own because they dont have any
other story of these people to go off. For example, I have experienced this false single-story in my own
life. Coming from a small town in Pennsylvania, I was constantly surrounded by stereotypes of white,
straight, cisgender men and women who were typically very conservative and traditional individuals.
Although I didnt personally adopt some of their opinions of different races, I often felt curious about
them and wondered if they were true or not. Upon moving to Arizona and attending Arizona State, I was
soon able to meet and befriend hundreds of peoples of different races, cultures, and religions that proved
that these social media stereotypes were false all along.
What do you see?
Sometimes we can be looking at the same exact picture or story as somebody else and see
two completely different things or feel two completely different ways. It is important to
understand and respect different opinions and the fact that no two people will think, see, or
write exactly alike.

Below are four images, each of which are thought provoking and can be somehow related to a
controversial social issue or idea. Choose one in particular that you would like to work with
for this assignment.

Steps:
1. Choose one of the pictures below that you find most interesting, one that provokes a
thought or feeling for you. Make sure that it is one you will feel comfortable writing and
sharing ideas about.
2. On one side of notebook paper, specify the picture number that you are working with
and then construct a response to the image.
3. Write about what social issue you believe that this image is portraying, focusing on
what you can see, feel, and think about while looking at the image.
4. Use descriptive language to describe the photo and the emotions it creates.
5. There is no right or wrong answer--just your own opinions, thoughts, and ideas.
