Use your process journal and the stages of your project saved on your personal page as you reflect on what you've learned: --about your topic? what surprised you? --about writing? what steps of this process were especially difficult or rewarding for you? --about teaching? do you see yourself using multigenre with your future students? why or why not? Please post your reflection at the top of your personal page. After completing my project, I have learned a lot about autism and how to deal with individuals with the disorder. Being involved with the club Best Buddies, and being around my buddy with autism I thought that I knew a lot about the disorder, but I was surprise at all the information I didn't know. I learned all the warning signs and symptoms of the disorder and all the treatments, I never realized all of the testing that individuals with the disorder have to go through. I reallly enjoyed doing this type of project. By using the multiple genres, it was easy to display all of the facts that I gathered in an interesting and non repetitive way. By using multiple points of view and ways of displaying information, it really helpled get my purpose across, which was to inform and educated people who don't know about the disorder. One of the most important things that i got out of this project, and one that I hope I conveyed to my audience was that it is important to not judge people who have this disorder just because they are a little different.
