 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit, we will explore the different genres and compose a magazine column. The column will include the exploration of blogs, graphs, diagrams, and slideshows with the technology provided through iMovie, Garage Band, and Comic Life. Through the lessons, students will learn what a genre is, and when to use each one along with how to cite and how to edit (in partners and solely). We will use iMovie, Garage Band, and Comic Life to explore each technique separely. The blogs wand the Type II explorations will lead up to a podcast presentation and a writing column entry of their chosen genre to be presented at the end of the 3-6 week unit in front of me, the editor of "G": Magazine coming out of New York City, New York and their classmates (other inspiring columnist's). This unit should be a fun and exciting learning experience for both my students and me. ||
