7 lessons
- Purpose
- Create of a richly-imagined fantasy world by exaggerating and transforming elements of the everyday.
- Description
- Science fantasy is essentially fantasy storytelling in space, with technology taking the place of magic. Science fantasy is full of tropes such as aliens, technology, exotic planets and tense fights. In this course, we model these elements in Phoenix, by S.F. Said, a British writer. Each lesson focuses on one trope, and shows how easily everyday parts of our lives can be exaggerated and transformed to create a wild and fantastic future. Each lesson is standalone, and the language demands of the snippets and lessons are very light, so this course is well suited to middle-years students.
