Short scenes from movies, television, and stage illustrate various genres as the narrator identifies their typical conventions. Students see how a grasp of genre is essential for analyzing literary texts. Among genres covered: epics, fairy tales, comedies, tragedies, science fiction, romances, parodies, crime stories, and tales of horror. The program also shows how literary works—Hamlet, for example—can emerge in more than one genre. Grades 7–12. Color. 17 minutes. Clearvue/eav. ©2001.
