Genre Matching

This worksheet introduces students to Ray Bradbury’s works and asks them to match each short description to the correct genre from a provided list. Students then explain how they knew the genre using text clues related to plot, themes, or style. The activity reinforces understanding of genre characteristics and how authors craft stories within different literary categories. Students practice interpreting brief summaries, identifying genre-specific elements, and supporting their decisions with evidence. Reflection questions further develop critical thinking by exploring the writer’s themes and creative choices.
