How Do the "Real Housewives" Get to History Class? A Multimodal Twist on a Project
Adams, Caswell
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v59 n5 p515 Mar-Apr 2016
When eighth-grade students tire of writing, their history teacher must get creative to keep their attention for the next project. By applying a multimodal design to an old project, the teacher creates a new one that appeals to various learners and creative minds. The result is not only historical learning but also an opportunity to see how students view themselves and their world.
