Guess That Genre

The student’s in Mrs. Elsea’s 5th grade class at Davis have been studying the different genres of literature.

Today they used Storyboard That to create scenes from three different types of genres. Storyboard That provides the students with so many options for scenes, characters, and text. In addition, all of the features are fully customizable, so the students could create exactly what they had pictured in their plans.

After they had their scenes complete, students used the Snipping Tool to take a screen shot of each image. They saved all three images to their desktop.

To share out their finished images, students used the Quiz feature on Google Forms to create a quiz in which the audience has to view their scene and try to infer what genre of literature this snapshot came from. They really enjoyed the features within Google Quizzes, such as assigning points for right answers, providing feedback for correct & incorrect answers, and allowing the quiz taker to view their results at the end of the quiz. Test your knowledge of genres by taking these quizzes!
