Fantastical Workshop

On Tuesday, October 7, 2104 the first group lead a workshop about fantastical literature.  Megan, Lindsay, and Alicia did a wonderful job teaching the class and informing us about fantasy literature.  I learned many new things about fantasy literature though the workshop.  Below is what I learned and would like to share with you:

-Fantastical literature has two sub genres, which is fantasy and science fiction.

Features in the plot of fantastical literature:

*not realistic

*logically consistent

*magically driven

Features in the setting of fantastical literature:

*rich details

*reality/world

Features in the theme of fantastical literature:

*good vs. evil

*being human

*consequences of pride

*effects of science

*spiritual

Features in the characters of fantastical literature:

*multidimensional personalities

*grow and change

*typically non human

Below are some fantastical literature books:

After this presentation I am more informed about fantastical literature and how I can incorporate it in my classroom. Many of the books the group presented I didn't even know were in the genre of fantastical literature.
