Description

Introduce your students to 8 different genres (both fiction and nonfiction). Students will become detectives to identify the genre by first using the images of covers of novels to make educated guesses using text features. Next, on a separate page, students will read the synopsis of the book and adjust any of their first attempts at identifying the genre.

(Genres: realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery, fantasy, autobiography, biography, informational, and poetry)

Book titles and synopsis are from current upper elementary novels.

Teaching and learning from home is very difficult. I used this resource in my google notebook for the kids and it worked out perfectly.
