This document provides instruction on identifying genres of viewing materials. It begins by stating the lesson objectives which are to organize information from viewed materials, determine their purpose and intended audience, and identify their features. Various genres are then defined, including news flashes, weather reports, internet-based programs, movie trailers, and documentaries. Examples are provided for each. The document concludes with an assessment activity where students must match genres to their features and identify genres of sample viewed materials. Students are then assigned a task to view a material, organize a report on it addressing specified points, and present it using an organizer.
