Here's more of the answers to my question about a list of the different genres of literature: Here's my best thinking. The Fiction genres might be broken down more finely than you'd like. Best, Toni Fiction Genres Drama Easy to Read Fable Fairy Tale Fantasy Fiction Fiction in Verse Folklore Graphic Novels Historical Fiction Humor Legend Mystery Mythology Picture Book Poetry Realistic Fiction Science Fiction Short Story Tall Tale Nonfiction Genres Biography/Autobiography Essay --- The ones I usually try to cover with various grades include: historical fiction, realistic fiction, science fiction, fantasy, picture books, folk tales (including fables, fairy tales, and tall tales), mystery, and informational books for the most part. --- Go to this school web site. There are lots of great powerpoints. I have used the one for genres in my school. I think you will find it with language arts. http://jc-schools.net/ppt.html --- I am in the process of creating a website that arranges kids' books by genre. It is still very much in progress, but feel free to look at my subject list to get ideas for your genre unit. http://www.bookwink.com Hope this helps! -sonja Cole --- I am sure you have had many reponses by now. Genres would be Fiction: Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Modern Fantasy(Harry Potter), Traditional Fantasy (fairytales) Realistic Fiction (Olive's Ocean) Poetry, And then Non-Fiction, Biography, Autobiography. I think I got them all. Hope I helped. --- I would say that there are two basic catagories fiction and nonfiction some even consider poetry its own category----or it is a floating type of literature and can be fiction or nonfiction It really can be broken down further, but I think this would be a good start. Hope it helps. I. Fiction A. Realistic fiction B. Science Fiction C. Fantasy D. Historical Fiction E. Folklore II. Nonfiction A. Expository 1. Reference 2. Science 3. Newspaper Biography Autobiography --- Thanks again to everyone who sent me their lists. This has been very helpful!
