Metamorphosis A tale of Magical Realism

Take out your journals…  Brainstorm: I am going to give you the setting and conflict and you take it from there!  Setting/Conflict: Describe yourself waking up in the morning in your own room (develop a strange or dream-like quality), but as you get up, you realize you’ve morphed into a ___________  Bug, animal, something supernatural, non- human…  What happens; how do you cope with daily life; how do you tell your family and friends?  Keep it darker and more like magical realism than fantasy…it is not escapism.

Get into groups  Share your journals and talk about elements that add to the dream-like or strange quality.  Note symbolism in your different pieces and explain deeper meaning.  Choose one to share with the class.
