["Bzdusek, Shiloh" <shiloh.bzdusek@D300.ORG>]

Thanks everyone. Here is the hit.

I go over the various genres with the students, then either book talk or read from 
different ones over the next few weeks.  I give them a handout to put in their 
reading folders and they can fill in a title and author for each genre as well as a 
sentence about why this book fits in that genre.  When they have completed all, 
they get a treat (an airhead or something like that, I have to keep it cheap).  The 
teachers push it with them as well, so it works out well.  I am attaching the 
definitions and form that I use.
