Fantastic Fantasy-Study guide and Workbook
This resource is used in conjunction with 'The Never-ending Story III' slideshow on Fantasy novels. It talks about important and reoccurring themes in the Fantasy genre such as: heroism, loyalty, quests, motifs, magic,good vs. evil and reality vs. fiction. I had previously used this with my Year 8 class and it seemed to work well for our unit. We based this section on an assessment as well-which produced good scores.
