This presentation provides an in-depth exploration of the various genres in literature. It covers the different types of prose and poetry, and the sub-genres within them, along with their definitions and characteristics. The presenters for this topic are Chad Gibbons, Sean Dellosa, and Shawn Garcia
Understanding literature involves recognizing its different genres and their specific characteristics.
Literature serves multiple purposes - it provides insight into human experiences, helps develop language and communication skills, offers a form of escapism, inspires and motivates, encourages empathy, and builds connections between people.
Prose, a major category in literature, uses ordinary language and consists of various genres like novels, essays, short stories, and newspaper articles.
Poetry is another key category that uses imaginative and often rhythmic language to express ideas, evoke emotions, or narrate stories.
Fiction and non-fiction are two broad categories under prose. Fiction includes novels, short stories, novellas, fables, parables, and legends. Non-fiction consists of history, news, biographies, diaries, anecdotes, and essays.
Narrative, lyric, and dramatic are the three sub-genres of poetry. Narrative
poetry tells a story, lyric poetry expresses personal emotions or thoughts, and dramatic poetry is meant to be performed in a play or theatrical setting.
Both PDF and PowerPoint included (21 Slides)
This presentation (49 Slides) delves into the expansive world of poetry - its definition, types, creation, and its all-encompassing presence in our daily lives. The workshop also included multiple exercises to stimulate creativity and engage participants in writing their own poems.
The workshop begins with a warm-up activity and a review of the basics: what is poetry, who writes it, where it can be found, and examples of famous poets and poems.
Then, the presentation delves into the technical aspects of poetry, including figurative language, meter, speaker, subject, sound and rhythm, rhyme and rhyme scheme, theme, syntax, structure, form, tone, and mood.
The session emphasises that poetry is not limited to traditional forms but can be found in song lyrics and even in social media platforms and everyday conversations. This is demonstrated through a game of identifying whether certain lines were from Shakespeare’s works or popular song lyrics.
The ‘9 dots 4 lines Challenge’ introduces creative thinking and ‘thinking outside the box’
The second section off the session focuses on the creative process of poem writing, including preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and implementation.
Participants are encouraged to note down their ideas and start writing using a variety of prompts provided to kickstart the writing process.
Lastly, participants are encouraged to read, share, and re-write their poems, all while maintaining a positive and constructive attitude towards their work.
