Instructional Ideas

  • Given the popularity of science fiction in modern media, offer assignments that allow students to compare/contrast presentation in mediums such as film and television with literature

Pros

  • Instructional questions are directly matched to corresponding Common Core standards
  • Companion texts organized according to genre and themes/topics
  • Engaging project/activity ideas

Cons

  • None
