01

What Students Need to Do

Students read literary and informational texts from different genres. They identify genre features and explain how an author’s structure, language, and purpose shape meaning.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly identify genre using details from the text. They explain how structure, style, and evidence shape meaning, then compare those choices across texts.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may identify genre from topic alone, rather than structure, language, and purpose. They may also compare plot details without explaining how genre changes the message.

How to Assess It

Give students a poem and a news paragraph about the same event. Ask them to name each genre and explain one effect of each writer’s choices.

1. 01

   Give groups four short excerpts to sort by genre, then have them underline the structural and language clues that guided each choice.

2. 02

   Ask students to write: How would the message change if this memoir passage became a news report? Cite two specific changes.

3. 03

   Play Genre Evidence Challenge using excerpt cards, teams earn points only when they identify the genre and support it with two clues.
