Objective: Today we are going to delve into the world of fantasy stories and explore the magical, imaginative and incredible universes that await us.
Warm-up activity: Let's start by closing our eyes and imagining a magical world with dragons, fairies, and unicorns where we can go on adventures and explore without any limits. Think about what you would like to find there. Would you like to fly on a dragon's back or ride a unicorn through the forest? I'm sure you're all thinking about something amazing!
Introduction: Today, we are going to learn about fantasy stories. These stories are different from realistic stories because they use elements that are not real, such as magic and supernatural creatures. They are created by authors who let their imaginations run wild and take us to worlds that we have never seen before.
Learning objectives:
Class activity: We will read a short extract from a famous fantasy book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". We will have a class discussion, where we will talk about what makes the story "fantastical", discuss the characters and what magical elements are used.
Conclusion: Now that we know about the magical world of fantasy stories, we can't wait to create our own stories and share them with each other.
