Genre 3
Greetings from Soledad, California
This genre requires the use of linguistic and interpersonal intelligences as students write postcards from Soledad, California (near where Of Mice and Men is set). They must take the character of a migrant laborer from another country such as Mexico and talk about their new experiences in the United States and California. Are their experiences similar to their expectations? Different? Is America really a land of opportunity? These are the questions this genre asks.
