At the beginning of the semester I really wanted to work on the New York Giants, which is my favorite Football Team. I'm extremely passionate about football and love talking about it. After much research there was not much I could do with my project. What made it difficult to do, was the fact that the project on this topic was a multi-genre project. I could not find many different things to show in different ways. Three weeks before the due date I changed my topic to "How Michael Jackson's childhood affected his life"? Which to me is a very interesting topic I always wanted to learn about Michael's past and this was the perfect oppurtunity to understand his past.

I learned so much from how and why Michael was the way he was, unusual. Since I'm talking about Michael's past I decided to put it in a scrapbook because scrapbooks are used for memories even though these are not happy memories.I put in loads of pictures, interviews, poems, lyrics and diary entries. I did more genres where I spoke about Michael's charges on molestation and his skin disorder which is called Vitiligo. Michael's past was so heartbreaking I did a speech so the audience can empathize with him. I wanted to use my vocalics such as volume, tone and pitch to grab their attention.

I learned so much, I truly feel like an expert on Michael Jackson. Doing this project taught me so much. The multi-genre project is a brillant idea, it really makes you research so much. Which is good its not just light research where you get the information your teacher is asking for. You choose your topic and what you want to talk about, its great. You do so much research in a variety of ways. I also learned to have time management and not procrastinate, you think you have all semester to do it so you take your time but so much goes into it. I loved doing this project I would not mind doing it again.
