Multi-genre papers, Chpt. 14

I would have to say that this chapter raised a question that I've been faced with before, what it the most appropriate way to write? I believe that they said it best that both styles have a place in the classroom and this is true because of many reasons. Multi-genre papers are wonderful means of writing, but traditional research papers often times have a very strong "paradigmatic voice that argues and illustrates and extends thinking in a logical progression of language and ideas" (89). Both styles of writing do have a place in our curriculum and therefore both serve an extremely important part in our classrooms.
