We learn about Allusion- I. Biblical II. Literary III. Classical using Period way.
(Periods: within all disciplines even though a given community of scholarship applies different criteria to their meaning of the same general term used in other disciplines; consequently squabbles about exact date ranges are mostly shrugged aside as counter-productive — in large part this is an extension of the recognition that one region develops at a different pace and under different influences and so at a different rate.)
This Semester: Approaches to Literature
We are using Genre way.
(Genre: any category of literature or other forms of art or entertainment, e.g. music, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.)

Glossary: an alphabetical list of technical terms in some specialized field of knowledge. A glossary provides the definitions for those terms. You use one to quickly find the definition of a technical term. You will commonly find a glossary in the appendix of many text books, people often use a glossary to better understand the material of the book that they are reading.
