TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I love this resource to help teach about different genres. It also helps in our discussion of our 40 Book Challenge as they may not be knowledgeable about all of the different genres.” - Carolyn P. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We have a new reading series this school year. Although for each unit we concentrate on one genre I like being able to show the students all of the main genres. I copied them on various colored paper and have them on the back wall. If we are discussing a genre for the week I can move the poster to the front of the room. They seem to understand the genres, hopefully because they have a visual. I don't like a lot of clutter on my walls so this says a lot about this resource that I have these posters up!” - Denise I. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students love having these around the classroom to review genres as we learn them through the year. I love products like this that are clean and sleek. It makes the classroom less hectic.” Cassandra W. _______________________________________ ⭐️ BUNDLE & SAVE FOR A DISCOUNT⭐️ Purchase the Genre Bundle to get this set of posters plus Genre Reading Passages, Graphic Organizers, and Bookmarks.

Would you like to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you simply not have the time to get them done? Well, you have come to the perfect place! I love making these engaging and appealing anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and references them every day. Many of them are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect and remember what they have learned. This particular anchor chart is for readers/writers practicing character traits both inside and out. My students love the visual because it helps them understand that character traits are both what they can see and the inside of characters as well. They have so much fun with this! **These will be copies unless asked otherwise for a custom poster. They are not laminated, and are printed on normal, anchor chart paper. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered, but please keep in mind once shipped, it is outside of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I highly encourage you to please reach out to me first, and we have always been able to work something out to make up for anything that may have occurred after I have sent your package, thanks so much!! Hope you love it :)

Genre in writing is SO important. Why? Because readers have certain expectations when they pick up a new book. Those expectations are based on the book's genre. Learn how to meet (and exceed) your reader's expectations by satisfying the requirements of your story's genre.

Highlights The passionate but doomed epistolary love affair between a Czech translator and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial. About the Author: FRANZ KAFKA was born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium near Vienna in 1924. 320 Pages Literary Collections, letters Series Name: Schocken Kafka Library Description About the Book Originally published in German in a different form as Briefe an Milena by S. Fischer Verlag GmbH, Frankfurt, in 1952. This edition is based on the enlarged and revised German edition, edited by Jeurgen Born and Michael Meuller, published by S. Fischer Verlag GmbH, Frankfurt and Main. Book Synopsis The passionate but doomed epistolary love affair between a Czech translator and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial. "Extraordinary...touching, horrifying, brilliant, sickly, [and] heartbreaking.... The most significant key we have for a reading of the author's novels and short stories." --The New York Times In no other work does Franz Kafka reveal himself as in Letters to Milena, which begins as a business correspondence but soon develops into an epistolary love affair. Kafka's Czech translator, Milena Jesenská, was a gifted and charismatic twenty-three-year-old who was uniquely able to recognize Kafka's complex genius and his even more complex character. For thirty-six-year-old Kafka, she was "a living fire, such as I have never seen." It was to Milena that he revealed his most intimate self and, eventually, entrusted his diaries for safekeeping. Review Quotes "The voice of Kafka in Letters to Milena is more personal, more pure, and more painful than in his fiction: a testimony to human existence and to our eternal wait for the impossible. [This is] a marvelous new edition of a classic text." --Jan Kott "An extraordinary document--touching, horrifying, brilliant, sickly, heartbreaking, and infinitely convoluted . . . It reveals him most clearly (which is relative, and Kafka remains mystifying enough), and it is--aside from the beauty of the letters themselves--the most significant key we have for a reading of the author's novels and short stories." --The New York Times About the Author FRANZ KAFKA was born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium near Vienna in 1924. After earning a law degree in 1906, he worked for most of his adult life at the Worker's Accident Insurance Institute in Prague. Only a small portion of Kafka's writings were published during his lifetime. He left instructions for his friend and literary executor Max Brod to destroy all of his unpublished work after his death, instructions Brod famously ignored.
