Introduction
Do you ever have trouble deciding how to categorize a story by genre? Do you understand what the word genre means?

We need your help. The Cassville Intermediate School is going to have a Spring Parent Night in the very near future. The principal, Mrs. Stringer, has decided that the focus will be on reading and writing stories from a variety of genres. The problem is we have so many students who don't understand how to identify the different genres. What can we do?
