Modern fantasy is literature that is set in the real world, but the author has alterd one or more characteristics of everyday life. So the characters can go back in time or even imagine that something is happening, when in reality they are just using their imagination.

Design a classroom activity. (Name, Directions)
Well I really liked the book Where the Wild Things Are and I think that younger children will enjoy this book also. I think its a great way for children to use their imagination.
My assignment would be called My Imaginary Landt. This assignment is so students are able to use their imagination and think about if they had a secret land, what would they do there? What is like?

My Imaginary Land
First of course I would read them the book Where the Wild Things Are.
Then the students will come up with their own imagingary place. They are going to put picutres, animals or anything else that is in their Land
They can use a shoe box and put it on its side so they are able to put in their objects, so that they will be able to show it to the class.

They can color in the shoe box or paste construction paper for a background. Then they can print or draw pictures of desired animals or objects. They will cut them and paste them so that they look 3-D. They can even put toys like insects, lizards, or snakes. Then the students will tell us what they have in their and why did they put that it in their land. Then they will explain what do they do on their land. They students will have about a week and half to do this project.
