Reading The primary focus of this class will be on reading from different Literary genres.

Literary Genres Reading The texts that we read are broken into groups, called LITERARY GENRES. Examples:

Reading Nonfiction Nonfiction is a historically accurate story or narrative. The information is all factual. Some examples of nonfiction: Biography Autobiography Newspapers Essays Speeches

Reading Fiction A story or narrative that is based on imagination or made up. Some examples of fiction: novel short Stories Fiction is then broken into further categories. Science Fiction – set in the future with scientific/technological advances Realistic Fiction – a story that could actually happen Historical Fiction – stories that blend real historical events with fiction Fantasy – stories with strange, otherworldly characters, including magic Dystopian – typically set in the future after there has been a worldwide disaster, people/society have changed/adapted into a new and often unsavory way of life

Fiction-NOVELS Reading Most fictional books, are written in first or third person. Tells a longer story with many different conflicts and plot development. Most chapter books are novels.

Fiction-SHORT STORIES Reading Fiction-SHORT STORIES Short stories are short COMPARED to novels. Usually consists of only one main conflict that is resolved in some way.

Drama or Plays Reading Can be fictional or nonfiction Only genre intended to be seen as opposed to being read Stage plays, TV show and movies

Poetry Reading Written to evoke feelings and create images Can rhyme, doesn’t have to. Usually has some sort of pattern or rhythm.
