Sharks in the Library

Each slide is a different genre. Gives students a review of what the genres are and what characteristics they have.

After reading the clue, students need to figure out what genre the question is talking about. Then, have students search the library for books that fit under the genre. This gets them familiar with the library, as well as with the genres.

This is the worksheet that goes along with the free Genre scavenger hunt Google Slides. Students search the library for books that fall under the hidden category that they need to decode.

All of the pieces to the genre green screen project including: - Research - Script writing - Teacher evaluations and rubrics - Google Slides presentations

These are the materials that students can use to write their script. There is a storyboard worksheet before the script because I have noticed this is helpful to students as they map out what they want to do. Due to time, I have a set number of lines on the script paper but this is something you can change.

These two documents are for when the students pick their groups and genres for their project. The research note packet is also attached to this document. Students can use books, databases, or the internet to do their research. (Although, books and databases are recommended)

This Google slides presentation gives script starters for each of the genres in the genre unit. I recommend printing the slides out and then laminating them so that students can use dry erase markers on them repeatedly.

These documents can be used to grade and monitor student progress throughout the genre project. Students can also use the rubric to guide them as they work.

This Google slides presentation outlines the genre project.

This Google slides presentation outlines what the students will need to include in their scripts for the genre project. Includes a lists of do's and don'ts.
