Genre Matcher

Worksheet Description

Students are asked to match characteristics to the correct genre-poems, plays, or prose. Each descriptive phrase requires a label indicating which type of writing it best represents. This helps students analyze features such as dialogue, plot, rhythm, grammar, and performance elements. The worksheet encourages precise identification of literary traits.

Matching exercises boost recall and analytical thinking as students make connections between traits and genres. This promotes greater confidence in genre identification and understanding of structural norms. It also encourages students to read with a more discerning eye for format and purpose. Repeated practice builds a strong foundation in literary analysis.
