Abstract: “Rapid changes in technology and connectivity have brought about monumental shifts in the ways writing is produced and shared. Yet the way we teach writing has remained largely static. In Next Generation Genres, Jessica Singer Early provides a guide to using a fresh set of genres for secondary writing instruction: genres that will speak to students who are already immersed in rich and multifaceted literacy practices through social media, gaming, and new technologies. If your students' eyes glaze over when they're assigned a standard essay, let them try crafting a podcast, artist statement, or infographic instead! Early shows how to effectively teach these and other contemporary genres with plenty of sample assignments, model texts, digital tools, writing workshop tips, and student examples.” (from back cover)

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
