Wings of Fire: Map Skills, Drawing, & Writing to Create a Fantasy World (Flex)
Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Does your student like the Wings of Fire books or reading and writing in the fantasy genre? In this class, students will combine knowledge about biomes, landforms, food webs, and natural resources to create a world for dragons. Through a series of video lessons, presentations, and worksheets, I will review and present some review background knowledge about mapping and biomes as well as the two islands in the Wings of Fire novel and how the dragons that live there are specially adapted to live...
- Create a map of new land with a unique name. - Represent the essential climate, landforms, and biotic and abiotic resources of a biome. - Learn to draw dragons and create characters with specific adaptations. - Write fantasy stories and develop characters. - The map will be submitted through video and images. - I will post other videos as we go along.
I am an experienced classroom, afterschool program, and summer camp teacher and I love to read and discuss fantasy stories with other dragon lovers. :)
