  4. Set up your yellow response journal: January 8, 2013—A Mini-Lesson on Genres You will be taking a few notes from the next slides. You will be answering a TICKET OUT. You also may want to update your 2012/2013 Reading Record (white paper) with more precise genre labels.

  5. Read aloud this slide and record 2 pieces of information in your journal. What is a “genre?” There are many kinds of art —music, painting, sculpture, and literature are a few examples of an art. A genre is a particular kind of art according to the criteria of that form. In literature, genres are vague categories with no fixed boundaries. Genres are formed by sets of common characteristics. Genreis originally a French word meaning "kind", "sort" or "type“.

  6. Create this chart in your journal.

  7. Read aloud this slide and record 2 pieces of information in your journal. What is a “genre?” • Genres are often divided into sub-genres. In literature, for instance, can be organized according to the "poetic genres" and the "prose genres". • Poetrymight be subdivided into epic, lyric, and dramatic, while prose might be subdivided into fiction and non-fiction. Further subdivisions of dramatic poetry, for instance, might include comedy, tragedy, melodrama, and so forth. • This dividing into subgenres can continue: "comedy" has its own genres, for example, including farce, comedy of manners, burlesque, and satire.

  8. The next 2 slides offer a list of genres for prose works of fiction and nonfiction. As you read today, consider what is the genre of your PCR text. NOTE: “Realistic fiction” does not appear on this list. It’s a genre sometimes used by librarians but not one used by students of literature.
