Purpose
Enjoy these easy games to get you introduced to the basic literary genres. This site isn't too difficult to navigate so don't spend too much time on it -- just enough to get a basic idea before moving on.
Here are some more games! The diverse method of this game allows you to reinforce what you've already learned through some additional games in a completely different format than Quia.
Are you tired of all the games yet? If you are -- too bad! Here's some more. This page defines some perhaps "difficult-to-define" terms and will assist you further in getting these basic concepts under your belt. This is EXTREMELY important because you'll have to make a Voki later to prove you learned this stuff!
Watch this video showcasing fun and interesting parodies of different genres and novels. Pay attention to some of the traits of the parodies and try to identify why genre they would go into.
What if the book you want to pick out from the library is a book of poems? Well, that's okay too, because poems also have genres. Browse through some of these poems and try to identify what genre they might fall under.

Time to make your Voki!
Now that you've taken the time to learn about different literary genres, it is time for you to make your Voki and prove it!
Go to the Voki website and create an account. Once you've created your account, get to work making an avatar that looks like you.
Make sure you work hard on your avatar -- a lot of what you will be graded on is whether or not you took the assignment seriously, so that means WORKING HARD ON THE AVATAR! DO NOT USE ANY PRESET AVATARS! MAKE YOUR OWN!
A really important part is the voice content. Record your voice explaining the traits of one of the following literary genres:
Adventure
Historical Fiction
Memoir
Religious Fiction
Horror
Detective Mystery
