Today In Class Mr.Rivers started off where we left off yesterday talking about Genres. In yesterdays class we learned that Genre is an unbroken series of successful gestures. In class we also learned about Conventions which are a common trope or cliche of genre choices. Structures are how narratives are shaped and content is what is inside of a narrative. Going back to what we learned today after we were given time to finish our slides on genres our groups read them aloud in class . Going slide by slide almost every student chose a different genre and had a different way of structure for their description. What we found out today was that there are many different types of genre and different ways in which you can describe them. For my group which consisted of me and Kyle we did the genre of comedy. Our slide was title The Party and the reason why it was a comedy was because it made no sense and some of the language that was used was not correct. To connect what we learned in class to the outside world is that there is many different Genres in film especially nowadays. Being able to identify the genre and learning the different types really helps especially if you did not know before.  Also in class during presentations we had to explain why we chose our genre and read out loud. After the class discussed why our description fit the genre that was chosen. During the discussion we had we picked out specific details that made our genre fit our description. Following that we went through everyone slides to see all the different types of genres. That is what we learned in class today and how genre connects to the world at large.
