Science fiction unit from start to finish!This unit is split into two parts. The "literature" portion focuses on reading and disecting science fiction. Then, finish up your science fiction unit with the "language arts portion". Students can show off what they learned while creating an incredibly "real life" product. Students are given a problem (the library needs more science fiction books and needs to convince the Board of Education to shell out the money) and given guidelines. Then they create a product (they can choose what that product is - poster, pamphlet, PowerPoint, video, etc.) that will persuade your district's board of education to purchase more science fiction novels for your library. Contains everything the teacher needs, including the following: day by day lesson plans, list of sggested sci fi books (with Lexiles), handouts, organization/planning sheet for students, student examples (PowerPoint) and rubric.
