The teacher would give examples and then ask for examples that the children have read. The teacher will then make a ven diagram and compare/contrast between another genre that the children have recently learned. The students will then be put in groups. Each group will choose a science fiction book from an approved list. The literature groups will discuss the book in detail over the next couple of weeks.

The teacher will have what-if questions and have them on the board. The students will answer the question and draw a picture. Above is an example of a writing and drawing template.

What if question examples:

What if pigs can fly?

Why if you had a robot as a pet?

What if you were a robot?

What if an alien was your neighbor?

-After completing this assignment, students can hang them around the room and do an art walk.
