LESSON PROPER
POETRY- is an imaginative awareness of experience
expressed through meaning, sound and rhythmic
language choices to evoke an emotional response. It has
been known to employ meter and rhyme. The very nature
of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of
expression makes it nearly impossible to define.
DRAMA- is a composition in prose or verse presenting in
dialogue or pantomime a story involving conflict more
contrast of character, especially on intended to be acted
on a stage: a
A PLAY. IT MAY BE ANY SITUATION OR SERIES OF EVENTS
HAVING VIVID, EMOTIONAL, CONFLICTING OR STRIKING
INTEREST.
FICTION- IS LITERATURE CREATED FROM THE
IMAGINATION, NOT PRESENTED AS FACT, THOUGH IT MAY
BE BASED ON A TRUE STORY OR SITUATION. TYPES OF
LITERATURE IN THE FICTION INCLUDE THE NOVEL, SHORT
STORY AND NOVELLA.
NON-FICTION- IS BASED ON FACTS AND THE AUTHOR’S
OPINION ABOUT A SUBJECT. THE PURPOSE OF NON-
FICTION WRITING IS TO INFORM AND SOMETIMES TO
PERSUADE. ITS EXAMPLES ARE BIOGRAPHIES, ARTICLES
FROM TEXTBOOKS AND MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS.
21st Century Literature Genres
ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • Story through text and illustrated
images • 50% of the narrative is presented without words • The
reader must interpret the images to comprehend the story
completely. • Textual portions are presented in traditional form. •
Some illustrated novels may contain no text at all. • Span all genres.
• Examples include The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian
Selznick and The Arrival by Shaun Tan.
DIGI-FICTION • Triple Media Literature • Combines three media:
book, movie/video and internet website To get the full story,
students must engage in navigation, reading, and viewing in all
three forms. • Patrick Carman’s Skeleton Creek and Anthony
Zuiker’s Level 26 are examples.
GRAPHIC NOVEL • Narrative in comic book formats • Narrative work in
which the story is conveyed to the reader using a comic form. • The term is
employed in broadly manner, encompassing non-fiction works and
thematically linked short stories as well as fictional stories across a number of
genres. • Archie Comics by John Goldwater and illustrator, Bob Montana, is a
good example.
MANGA • Japanese word for comics • It is used in the English-speaking
world as a generic term for all comic books and graphic novels originally
published in Japan. • Considered as an artistic and storytelling style. • Ameri-
manga- sometimes used to refer to comics created by American artists in

narrative non-fiction • A genre of writing that uses literary styles and
techniques to create factually accurate narratives. • Contrasts with other non-

accurate fact, but is not primarily written in service to its craft. • As a genre,
creative non-fiction is still relatively young and is only beginning to be
scrutinized with the same critical analysis given to fiction and poetry. • 1000
Gifts by Ann Voscamp and Wind, Sand, and Stars by Antoine de Saint-
Exupery are examples.

Maas’ Kingdom of Ash.
