Beyond Words Questions

4. Genre is a category used to name and identify a text based on similar characteristics, styles, topics, and/or motives.

9. The subject matter of a text can be signaled through the title or even if it is simply announced to the reader in the text. Oftentimes, the subject matter must be inferred or interpreted, most of which has evidence provided in the text.

12. Context is the who, what, when, where, and why that surround every word, image, or artifact

14. When taking a text apart, it is important to keep in mind the elements that five the text unity, sequences, which link the events, and the way a whole text is divided into parts. It is also important to look for patterns and the physical layout, as in the arrangement and balance of the text.

15. Details are important in texts because they provide support for a claim or make a story believable, as well as contribute (through "supporting details") to the subject or topic.
