About literary genres flashcards
GoConqr OriginalUsing Literary Genres flashcards
These decks give you terms to work through one card at a time. Start with Genres for a range of forms, including memoir, fantasy, fable and biography. Then look at Genre for other terms, such as satire, science fiction and tragedy.
For drama vocabulary, Elements of Drama includes stage directions, dialogue and the tragic hero. Drama Terms covers stage language too. There are several decks with this title, so check their contents to find the terms you want to study.
Move between formats
As you go through a deck, pause at each term and try to explain it before checking the card. Return to the terms you find difficult, then compare related ideas, such as comedy and tragedy.
When you want to see how ideas connect, switch to a mind map on the Literary Genres unit page. For a different kind of check, try a quiz there. Pick a deck that matches the topic you are studying.
