Do your students have trouble distinguishing the genre of different books? Try this hands on activity with them to help clear things up. The genres covered in this activity include tall tale, fable, legend, science fiction, realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery, and non-fiction. Students will match the genre to its definition and then label real books with the correct genre. This could be used for a whole group or small group lesson or even as a literacy center. This is a great companion pack for my Genre Detective Packet 2. Or purchase the Genre Detective Combo Pack which includes both Genre Detective Packet 1 and 2 at a discounted price. Also check out my Genre Mega Packwhich includes posters, bookmarks and secret symbols for 19 different genres that correspond to 8 of the genres in this pack.
