Making the Moves: Teaching Genre through performanceSlide2

What are Genres?

What is genre?

List some genres?

What characteristics render your genre recognizable?How have folks fused genres in memorable ways?Slide3

Part 1: Dancing Genres

Everyone knows the Hokey Pokey!

R

Let’s try another oneSlide5

What makes the Hokey

P

“Genres have become increasingly defined as ways of

recognizing,

responding

to

,

acting

meaningfully and consequentially within, and helping to reproduce

recurrent

situations

.”*

W. 11-12.1.a Introduce precise,

knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim

(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that

logically sequences claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence. Slide7

Part twoSlide8

Ok, but what if…

A

room furnished comfortably and tastefully, but not extravagantly.

At

the back, a door to the right leads to the entrance-hall, another to the left leads to Helmer's study.

Near

the window are a round table, arm-chairs and a small sofa.

In

the right-hand wall, at the farther end, another door; and on the same side, nearer the footlights, a stove, two easy chairs and a rocking-chair;

between

the stove and the door, a small table.

Engravings

on the walls; a cabinet with china and other small objects; a small book-case with well-bound books.

The floors are carpeted, and a fire burns in the stove. Slide9

Making the moves, explicitly

It is winter.

A bell rings in the hall; shortly afterwards the door is heard to open.

Enter NORA, humming a tune and in high spirits.

She is in outdoor dress and carries a number of parcels; these she lays on the table to the right. Slide10

Making the moves, implicitly

SCENE

I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.

FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO

BERNARDO

Who's there

?

FRANCISCO

You come most carefully upon your hour.

BERNARDO

'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Francisco.FRANCISCO For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,And I am sick at heart.BERNARDO Have you had quiet guard?FRANCISCO Not a mouse stirring.BERNARDO Well, good night.If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste.FRANCISCO I think I hear them. Stand, ho! Who's there?Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUSSlide11

Different writing situations/ Different dances/Different stage directions and choreography

E

xplicit cues: “

format

, language, and style that the performer or student is

presumed

to

understand

.”

“Can

be

understood

by those who are

already familiar with the genre”Writing Situations, like stage directions, also “include implicit assumptions about what constitutes an acceptable “performance.” Many high school/college students are unfamiliar with the genres they encounter.Irene Clark , 2005Slide12

11-12 Standards Used in Argument Proficiencies / Implicit Moves: Sentence Level

W. 11-12. 1.d “Establish

and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in which they are writing

.”

But what does this mean?

“Formal?”

“norms and conventions of a discipline?”Slide16

What we have discussed

Genres are a bit like dancing. They are characterized by “moves!”

Different writing genres offer “stage directions”: explicit or implicit.

Genres give us insight into what those stage directions are. But we have to “dig about in them.”

Collect samples

Look for

recurrent or dominant patterns of usage

on macro to micro levels (not always explicit)

Analyze “moves.”

Handout/ reading listSlide17

Implicit Moves: Sentence Level

Let’s talk about the placement of

doers

in sentences. Circle the bodies.

Which of the two excerpts features more

doers

in subject positions within clauses? (SV0)

What is the effect?
