Connection We have read a variety of literary and informational texts this year. During this unit, we will focus on exploring a specific type of literary text, the genre of fantasy.

Teaching Point Today we will identify the characteristics of fantasy and analyze a story to determine if it is a good example of this genre.

Characteristics of Fantasy Now that we have our categories, let’s review how these help us to understand the characteristics of fantasy. Fantasy is fiction that contains unrealistic or unworldly events (e.g., magic) Time and setting: Fantasies may be set in the past, present, or distant future. The place where the story occurs may be enchanted. Characters: Fantasies may include people or animals with magical or supernatural powers. Sometimes the characters represent stereotypes of good and evil. Theme: Fantasies usually communicate some universal truths, so that by reading about the fantastic world, readers gain insight into their own life and world. Humor: Fantasies are often humorous or entertaining.

Many fantasies follow an event structure where something is wrong in the fabric of the universe, or the world is out of order. The main character(s)’ role is usually to help establish new order. In addition, authors of fantasies often use the viewpoint of a main character as our guide in the story. We, the readers, learn about the world situation bit by bit as the character discovers what is happening.

Link Today we learned the characteristics of the genre fantasy. As you read stories in this genre, think about whether or not it is a good example of the genre by looking for examples or evidence in the text that matches the characteristics noted.
