In this unit, student artists create a magical setting that could host fairy tales. They begin by playing a game that helps them to identify magical elements and settings. They then move on to learning about and painting sections of a magical land that are eventually collaged together to form the foreground, midground, and background of their enchanted land. Finally, they use painting and collage to add magical elements to their piece.

GRADE 1:
Domain 1: Fables and Stories
This domain will introduce students to fables and stories that have delighted generations of people. By listening to these classics,students will increase their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills, learn valuable lessons about ethics and behavior, become familiar with the key elements and parts of a story, and acquire cultural literacy.
Domain 3: Different Lands, Similar Stories
This domain will introduce students to three themes in folktales that have been told to children for generations, using variations from different lands or countries.
