If you happen to be teaching literary genres this year, then I have two great resources that can really help. Use these genre task cards to help your students gain familiarity with the eight different genres:
biography
informational
mystery
fantasy
science fiction
historical fiction
realistic fiction
folktale
Each card features a short passage and four choices for selecting the correct genre.
If you want to go deeper, then Guided Reports and Projects for 7 Literary Genres could be just what you are looking for. For each genre, there is a pre-reading sheet, a two-page guided book report, and a project menu grid. The pages for historical fiction are shown below.
Each of the genres above are featured in this packet except for folktales. You can get a resource for teaching folktales here.
