Lesson Plan: Fact Or Fiction?
Create objects and artifacts from a story in which the line between reality and imagination is blurred, and talk about what is real and what is not real. Discuss the importance of things that are real, and the importance of the imagination, by investigating the way a story character understands the world.
Lesson Plan: I Was Wondering About Imagination
Make connections between hypothetical scenarios and real-life experiences by role playing as a fictional character, meeting new and unfamiliar people from a different world. Create an imagined avatar that is like oneself, but also adapted to a different environment and society. Think critically about the challenges that might be faced by people from two different worlds meeting for the first time. Draw from real world technology and ideas to design tools or devices that would support harmonious interaction between these characters. Think about how these imagined tools, if invented, could help future generations.
