Literacy Narrative - Genre and Style Awareness

Genre and Style Awareness

Outcome

• Students explore and apply genre conventions when remediating their personal narrative into a new medium.

• They analyze how punctuation, structure, visual design, and format shift across genres.

• They adapt stylistic choices (tone, word choice, sentence structure) to fit different audiences and rhetorical contexts.

Where It’s Practiced

• Literacy Narrative – students remediate a personal narrative into a new genre or medium, exploring how genre and style shift across formats.
• Observation and Value Analysis – Students identify genre and stylistic conventions in real community writing, strengthening their ability to recognize how writing works in different contexts.

What It Looks Like

Students demonstrate their understanding of genre and style by intentionally adjusting structure, tone, design, and medium to suit a specific audience and rhetorical situation.

Why It Matters

This matters because understanding genre and style enables students to adapt their writing effectively for different audiences and contexts.
