An imaginative and entertaining resource to help students understand genre and the different components of genre. When Scoop, an out-dated whodunit character from the 1940s loses his genre, he journeys through several different genres including a fairy tale, science-fiction, gothic, adventure, rap, and romance. This video explores: why do writers choose different genres; what are the components of each genre; setting; characters; style; and story-line.
