Genres of Literature, Pt. 3

Objective: SWBAT use details from a text to demonstrate comprehension.

• I can show comprehension and understanding of concepts previously covered in class.
• I can present information, highlighting key ideas.

Writing Response: Why could it be important to understand the characteristics of a genre before reading?

To Do:
1) Students will continue to take the information they obtained from the genre presentation to create a fictitious book cover based on one of the previously covered genres.  It will be made of construction paper and folded into the shape of a book.  The assignment requires the following information:

• Title (this will relate to the type of genre) and author (the student or students)
• A brief description previewing the "story" with 5 details relating to the type of genre (these will be underlined or otherwise notated by the student)

2) Students will present their book covers to the class, highlighting how it relates to their chosen genre.
