[CALIBK12] 6th grade Lang Arts-genre

[Heather Gruenthal]

I do booktalks by genre at the high school and junior
high level using the theme "What's my genre?"  I
figure that if students can connect to a particular
genre, they can better remember the term, while also
finding books they like to read.

I did a presentation with Tommy Kovac on this at CSLA
and the lesson as well genre bookmarks are posted on
my wiki(junior high and high school, but it can be
adapted)
