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.

UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW IN NARRATION
Points of view in narration serve as a bridge between the reader and the characters, providing a specific perspective for the story’s events. There are three primary types of viewpoints: second person, first person, and third person.
Second Person:
This unusual narrative style employs ‘you’ or ‘your’ pronouns. The narrator may be an observer or involved in the story.
First Person:
The narrator, often the main character, uses ‘I’, ‘me’, or ‘my’ pronouns. This viewpoint brings the reader closer to the protagonist and personalizes the story.
Third Person:
Using ‘they’, ‘them’, ‘he/she’, or ‘his/hers’ pronouns, this viewpoint creates a distance between the reader and the narrator. It can be limited or all-knowing (omniscient).
