Passport Genre Quiz

This worksheet uses a “passport stamp” format in which students read six short narrative excerpts and choose the correct genre for each. The choices vary by item, allowing students to compare multiple genres such as fantasy, science fiction, biography, poetry, adventure, and horror. Learners must evaluate text clues-such as setting, character traits, and plot elements-to make accurate selections. The task sharpens genre recognition skills and helps students practice making decisions based on textual evidence. The passport theme adds an engaging, exploratory element to the activity.
