This video...is FAKE (shocking).  The genre is SATIRE.  Why is it important to know the genre of a novel, tv show, video, etc.?

Zodiac Signs

The Greeks placed enormous importance on the day of one’s birth, and with the new constellations it was now possible to determine the strengths of the person at birth and perhaps prepare their parents, and then it was hoped the individual himself for the challenges ahead by knowing which god or hero would be their protector. The Greeks came to believe that a person’s life was pre-ordained and that every major event could be predicted though knowledge of horoscopes.

What do you know about Zodiac signs?  Do you know which one you are?  What do you imagine when you hear the term "Zodiac?"

Which emoji are you?












If you were an emoji today, which emoji would you be and why? You can attempt to describe the emoji, or number them from left to right (for example, the heart eyed emoji would be number 7).
