Wings of Fire: Create a Dragon Tribe!

Each week, we'll start with an inspiration animal-- like  sharks, leopards, or even pangolins! Using that animal as our inspiration, we'll decide what our dragon tribe eats, which will help us break down how it hunts, where it sleeps, and of course, what it looks like. We'll then decide if our dragon tribe has any special skills or abilities, and if we've got time, think on the tribe's history and culture.

The teacher writes down the details on the whiteboard and and guides the discussion as learners combine storytelling skills with knowledge of the natural world, creating a dragon that feels both realistic and fantastical-- just like the tribes in the Wings of Fire series!

This is a fun, social class that encourages teamwork and discussion while also increasing our knowledge of storytelling, biology, and writing. There is not officially an art component of this class, but students are encouraged and welcome to draw along as we create the tribe! They're also invited to share their work at the end.
