CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to critique the text as an example of genre

VOCABULARY

A genre analysis is an essay where you dissect texts to understand how they are working to communicate their message. This will help you understand that each genre has different requirements and limitations that we, as writers, must be aware of when using that genre to communicate.
