Lesson Plans and Papers on Fantasy Literature - Cloud of Witnesses: Volume 6 - Story
In the fall of 2003, Dr. Richard R. Osmer taught a course entitled “Children’s Fantasy Literature and Christian Moral Formation” at Princeton Theological Seminary. Students in the class wrote papers and designed lesson plans on selected works of children’s fantasy literature. With permission, we have posted a few of these papers and lesson plans you may find helpful. The papers include plot summaries and theme discussions. The lesson plans are brief but may get you thinking about how to use these works and others in your own teaching
