Unit Description The unit focuses on reading and responding to
science fiction and modern fantasy set in the past, the present, and the
distant future. The characteristics of fantasy and science fiction are
defined and described. Also, a study of story elements is included. Students
are given the opportunity to respond in both written and oral forms. As the
fantasy and science fiction genre is rich in visualization, students will
create various art projects (paintings, collages, mobiles). Skills and
concepts addressed throughout the unit include foreshadowing and flashback,
setting and mood, irony, characterization, conflict, and point of view, cause
and effect, and inferential comprehension.
Persuasion in advertising and media is also explored. Students view, analyze, and create their
own persuasive products. |
