Description
Through these engaging genre activities, your students will showcase their genre knowledge and sharpen their analytical skills as they explore genres through two challenging tasks.
► Plotting Genres
With these genre worksheets, students will evaluate various book genres based on their characteristics. They must consider the criteria on the x- and y-axes (imaginary vs. factual, action-packed vs. uneventful, etc.). Then, they will plot each genre on the graph according to how well it aligns with the criteria.
This is a very subjective activity, and discourse is strongly encouraged. If you can get kids to debate whether fantasy or science fiction is overrated or underestimated, you’re winning!
► Genre Meets Genre
In this genre activity, students will personify two genres and write a creative short story about their encounter. Through their chance encounter, students must accurately portray their genres according to their common characteristics.
I recommend using these genre worksheets to challenge your higher-level students during your larger genre unit. They are easy to plug in as a station rotation or use in lieu of another genre activity!
