OK, it’s not a movie, but it is a webinar introducing Genre Explained: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers About Genre-Based Instruction, by Chris Tardy, Ann Johns, and me, published this year by the University of Michigan Press.

And right now, you can buy the book for 50% off — or buy two for full price! — at the Press website with code SPRING23 (or you can pay more on Amazon).
