D. Presentation
Our topic for today has something to do with literary genre. Based on the previous activity, what are the two
classifications of literary genre?

A Literary Genre refers to a writing style in making or writing piece. The term genre is a category used to classify
the work of an author. A Literary Genre can be classified either as Fiction or Nonfiction.
E. Discussion
When we say fiction, these are written stories about people and events that are not real; and literature that tell
stories which are imagined by the writer.

Nonfiction is a literature comprising works of narrative prose dealing with or offering opinions or conjectures
upon facts and reality. Basically, they are not imaginary.

Nonfiction can be categorized into three major divisions:

 Literary Nonfiction,
 Informative Nonfiction, and
 Journalistic Nonfiction

Each division has unique set of elements. However, these three major divisions have a similar context that
everything written by the author/writer should be based on “truth” or “factual”.

Literary Nonfiction Informative Nonfiction Journalistic Nonfiction

Autobiography Reference Books Narrative Journalism
Biography Blogs/Vlogs News
Personal Narratives Travelogue Photojournalism

F. Application:
Activity 2: Am I True or Fake?
Read and analyze each statement about literary genres then tell whether it is true or not. Write T if the
statement is correct and F if it is not.

1. Fiction is based on real-life events and situations.

2. Nonfiction can be based on the author’s imagination and make-believe creation.
3. Fiction and Nonfiction are the main types of literary genres.
4. Fictional texts help writers learn and improve their creativity in communication skills.
5. Non-fictional texts help readers develop analytical and persuasive skills.
6. The major function of these two main Genres of Literature is to establish a rapport between the writers
and the readers.
7. Fairytale, Mythology, Fable, and Legend are examples of Fiction.
8. News, Biography, Blogs, and Travelogue are examples of Nonfiction.
9. Fiction and Nonfiction texts can both inform and entertain readers.
10. Both Fiction and Nonfiction should possess various elements.
