Hannah’s Unit Plan

Page 3: Unit Plan Powerpoint

Analyze Learners

These students are between 10 and 11 years of age

They are in their last year of elementary school

Most of them have already acquired some previous knowledge of the elements of literature

This unit will help them to further understand these elements, how they apply to the genre of Fantasy

Page 4: Unit Plan Powerpoint

Analyze Learners

I chose this genre, not because it is necessarily my favorite

But because it has been proven that Fantasy is the best genre for children; it is also the most popular

Fantasy allows children to leave the world of the concrete and expand their imaginations
