Lesson 6: Fantasy

Authors write fantasy stories to entertain the reader.
These stories including events and characters that are not real.
The setting may be in a magical land with objects or animals that do not exist in the real world.

​

Characteristics of the Genre

Fantasy stories include sensory and descriptive language to help the reader visualize.
Since the events or characters are not real, authors must use their writing to create a picture in the reader's mind.

​

Characteristics of the Genre

Even though fantasy stories may include magical lands and interesting creatures, the characters still face problems. Authors may include problems that only exist in a fantasy world but they still require a solution. Remember problem and solution in fiction is called Conflict and Resolution.
