[加州语言] 如何更好的使用Treasures(3) Literary Genres

本帖最后由 high5 于 2010-9-8 06:27 编辑

可能是年头长了， 记忆力下降的缘故， 在我的印象里， 语文课好像没有传授过任何关于问题的知识， 至少没有英语里分的那么详细。

用Treasures的哦家长一定注意到了， 在一年级哦时候， 这本教材就引入了 Genres 的概念， 对课文的问题进行解释和说明。
英语的文体一般分成两大类， 一类是fiction， 另一类是non-fiction.

美国的小学课本在一年级就非常重视这种对文体的分类的讲解， 让孩子分清楚哪些是虚构的文体， 那些是非虚构类的文体。 不要把虚构类的东西当成真实的事情。

All Fiction

Drama
Stories composed in verse or prose, usually for theatrical performance, where conflicts and emotion are expressed through dialogue and action.

Fable
Narration demonstrating a useful truth, especially in which animals speak as humans; legendary, supernatural tale.

Fantasy
