Literature are divided into major genres and sub-genres. They are categorized according to their forms and elements. Fiction has three categories: realistic, non-realistic and semi-fiction. MasterClass (2019) classifies fiction into 14 different forms including the following: literary fiction, mystery, thriller, horror, historical, romance, western, bildungsroman, speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, dystopian, magical realism, and realist literature. Other sub-genres of fiction include short story, novel, myth, legend and fable.
Nonfiction can be in different forms such as diary or journals, speeches, biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.
Poetry is a means of sharing experiences, telling a story, or expressing feelings or ideas through the use of language in a particular way. Poems also come in many forms. These forms are distinguished from the other by the choice of structural units (couplets, quatrains, and their arrangement with the overall poem), the layout of a poem on the page, and the organization of the lines of the poem. Here are some of them: a crostic, ballad, chant, cinquain, diamante, elegy, epic, epigram, epitaph, free verse, haiku, limerick, lyric, narrative, nursery rhyme, ode, riddle, song lyric, sonnette, tanka and villanelle.
On the other hand, a drama is a composition in either verse or prose presenting a story through pantomime or dialogue. There are four distinct types of drama: comedy, tragedy, melodrama and musical drama.

PERFORMANCE TASK (MELC 2): SHORT POEMS
Write two (2) forms of poetry from the choices: diamante, tanka, cinquain, epigram, epithat and haiku about your experiences of lockdown due to COVID-19 scare. Compose a title of your poem and identify its form. [eg. The Frontliners (Haiku)]. Write your verse in an A4 bond paper.
Cinquain. It is a five line poem that follows a pattern and does not rhyme. The cinquain consists of five lines of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 2 syllables respectively. Diamante. It is a seven line poem in which the first and last lines are opposites or contrasts. It is written in the shape of a diamond. Epigram. It is a short and pointed poem, often a witty statement in verse or prose which may be complimentary, satiric or aphoristic. Epitaph. It is a poem with a short inscription carved on a tombstone (or written with that context in mind). It usually rhymes and lends itself to imitation and distortion. While the epitaph in a cemetery is often serious, the form can be made humorous. Haiku. Originated in Japan and often tells about nature, it consists of three unrhymed lines containing 17 syllables (5, 7, 5) and portrays a single idea or feeling while having a strong visual imagery. Tanka. A type of Japanese poem similar to haiku, it consists of five lines with the first and third lines usually having five syllables and the others seven, making it a total of 31.
