Fantastical Literature
Today was a great day in class because the group that presented the fantastical literature genre project did an awesome job of conveying the key points and characteristics of fantastical literature in a clear and exciting way!
The main characteristics of fantastical literature/key points:
-Story of the impossible, expressed as if it were possible
-Imaginative
-Rooted in folktales and legends
-Most contain a deeper truth that is relatable to today's society
-More complex settings and relationships
-Characters are believable but in unrealistic predicaments
-Metaphors
-Scientific literature and magical elements --> 2 key sub genres
I really enjoyed the group's activity that twisted the known game of Candyland into an assessment of fantastical literature to demonstrate our understanding of the topic. The inclusion of the wings and all the props included as if it were really Candyland!
