The Trophies anthology has a variety of genres but its also important to have kids truly think about genre. I like this lesson: have them compare and contrast fiction and nonfiction using a venn. This really makes you think about the differences in new ways. I also have pictures of my "umbrella" posters (fiction, nonfiction and other) that I will post. I got these ideas from the great Nancy Doherty. She is the best! Christine
