Identify genres of material viewed
Learning Objectives:
1. Define genre.
2. Name the elements of genre.
3. Identify genres of materials viewed.
4. Give examples of the different genres of materials viewed.

II. CONTENT
 Topic – Identifying Genres of a Material Viewed

 Introduction
We love to watch different movies or video clips but most of the time,
we usually focus on the superficial elements: the setting, characters, plot,
point of view, and themes. This module will help you identify not only the
elements but also the different genres.
You might not be able to view specific movies here considering your
internet issues, but this module will help you become aware of the different
genres of the movies you love and even plan to watch. It’s definitely true that
we can’t judge the book by its cover, but here, you will deal with pictures of
different movies and short situations. The pictures are carefully chosen for
you to identify the genres quickly.

2. How about those written on the manila paper, what are they?
3. Was it hard for you to identify what type of movie those titles
are? Why or why not?

C. Exploration
This time, another activity will be introduced to deepen the
understanding of the learners. This is titled “Identify It!”. Distribute sets of
tagboards with the type to the different groups. As the pictures and
titles of movies will be flashed on the screen, the group will write the type
and raise their tagboard with the correct answer.
The following pictures will be flashed on the screen:

D. Explanation
Group the learners into 8. Assign each group with a specific genre to
talk about. Let them present their output in a creative way (either newscasting,
talk show, poetry composition, yell, song composition, rap, role play, or
readers’ theater).
The following are the genres which will be assigned to the groups.
 action and adventure
 comedy
 fantasy
 horror
 mystery
 drama
 science fiction
 documentary

NOTE: After the presentation, the teacher gives feedback and short follow-up
discussion.

DAY 2

Say: To check if you could still remember our topic yesterday, I’ll give you
keywords and then tell me the genre which relates to the given keyword.
KEYWORDS GENRE (answers)
1. zombies - horror
2. fairies - fantasy
3. magic - mystery
4. confidential issues - documentary
5. jokes - comedy
6. war - action
7. mountain climbing - adventure
8. UFOs - science fiction
9. Halloween - horror
10.love life - drama

E. Elaboration
 Generalization and Application
Say: You’re already good in identifying the genres through the given
keywords. Now, I’m going to flash reading selections on the screen. If
these reading selections were scenes from movies, what genres are
they? Remember that the boxes are clues to help you give the correct
answer. (Note: Propel happens here)
(Here’s another way of presenting this activity: Divide the class
into five then give one situation each. Please don’t include the clues
anymore. Let the groups read the situation, discuss, and identify the
genre. The output is then reported in front of the class.)

1. Mila is an orphan. One day, while she wandered in the

forest to gather fruits for her meal, she couldn’t find her way out
again. She was worried but she didn’t panic. She closed her eyes
and fervently prayed that if ever she couldn’t find her way out,
she would still be safe from wild animals. When she opened her
eyes, she was amazed with what she saw! In front of her were
vibrant children enjoying the unlimited fruit trees, dancing with
glee and playing with the very adorable animals. One of children
smilingly approached her and said: “Welcome to our new world
where you won’t be discriminated and won’t feel the hunger
anymore!”
1.

2. It was already nine in the evening. I was on my way home

from my classmate’s house where my groupmates met for a
group activity. I know it wouldn’t be easy for me especially that I
have to walk home and the worst, I would be passing by a house
which was already abandoned many years ago when the owners
were massacred for unknown reason. When I was already few
feet away from that house, I really tried to divert my attention in
singing
and doing actions on some known TikTok viral. All of a sudden, a
pingpong ball bounced from the house and rolled on my feet. Oh,
gosh! Without any signal, my feet just speedily carried me away
from the spot.

2.

3. Gee is all packed. He’s so excited to be on the place where

the crime happened. He was called by the department to do more
investigations and find any close hint that would help them
identify who the killer was. But on his way, his tire was hit by an
arrow. Good that he kept his speed low. He then called for
reinforcement and thought that would be a busy day for him.

3.

4. In a dark alley in a busy city, Emma and James, who had

been apart for a long time due to pandemic, met unexpectedly.
Rain was falling as they looked at each other, and all their old
feelings came rushing back. They had made mistakes in the past,
and it made things complicated now. They wanted to reconnect,
but they were scared of getting hurt again. As the rain kept
falling, they had to decide whether to give their love another
chance or to stay apart. It was a tough choice, and their hearts
were torn between hope and fear.

4.
 5. In a small town, clumsy farmer Mang Kanor tried a self-
operating lawnmower, but it went wild, chasing chickens and
causing chaos. The townsfolk laughed as Bob attempted to lasso
it. With their help, he finally caught it. Though the grass
remained uncut, the town had a day of laughter, and Bob
learned to stick with old-fashioned methods, vowing never to
trust a self-operating lawnmower again. The tale of Bob and the
"lawnmower rodeo" became a beloved local legend, spreading joy
whenever retold.

5.
