What Makes a Fantasy?<br />
The Chronicles of Narnia are works of fantasy. But what does that mean? Fantasy is a genre—a<br />
category of books with similar features, stories, or characters. Each fantasy story is different, but<br />
some elements often reappear. In this activity, you’ll find examples of four elements of the fantasy<br />
genre from the play version of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.<br />
Directions: Read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and fill in the boxes with examples from the play of each of the<br />
elements of fantasy listed below.<br />
1. The story is set is a fictional world, often<br />
where supernatural events occur.<br />
3. Imaginary creatures exist.<br />
2. Some characters have magical powers.<br />
4. A conflict between good and evil is central<br />
to the plot, and it often involves a voyage<br />
and/or a battle.<br />
Critical Thinking<br />
Think of another example of the fantasy genre, such as a book you’ve read or a movie you’ve seen.<br />
Make a list of the fantasy elements from that story.<br />
