This week we will be writing a fantasy story about fighting fires. We are currently reading a story called Smoke Jumpers. A smokejumper is a wildland firefighter who parachutes into a remote area to combat wildfires. Fighting fires is a dangerous job so we would like to showcase this amazing profession by writing fictional fantasy stories about fighting fires while incorporating facts and details about the actual profession and what goes into fighting fires. We love when you come and visit our blog pages, read our stories and leave us comments. The writing process comes alive and is tangible for the students when you leave them with your thoughts. Feel free to leave a comment and maybe even a suggestion or two. Thank you again for visiting and Happy Blogging ?
Below are the key features of a fantasy story.
Key features of a fantasy story include:
- May have characters doing things they cannot do in the real world
- Describes events that couldn’t happen in the real world.
- May have a setting that does not exist in the real world.
- May be written to seem almost real.
- May have a tone of happiness, nostalgia, or danger.
