Genre Context Reviewer

This worksheet provides six detailed passages and asks students to determine the appropriate genre for each. Learners analyze tone, setting, character dialogue, and narrative complexity to identify horror, fantasy, poetry, drama, mystery, or informational text. The task requires careful examination of descriptive language and structure in order to select the correct answer. Students also learn to recognize unique genre markers-such as verse in poetry, stage directions in drama, or suspenseful pacing in mystery. This deepens students’ ability to classify texts with accuracy and to justify choices based on literary features.
