[LM_NET] HIT: Library Activities for Sci Fi Genre

[Marcia Gemler <mgemler@YAHOO.COM>]

Here are the responses I received. Thanks much!

One year a teacher had students prepare a puppet or
doll based on the alien, monster, robot, or creature
from the book.  We displayed them around the media
center with a copy of the books.  One of the funniest
was from EXILES OF COLSEC which featured part of a
washing machine hose sprayed brown.  You had to see it
to appreciate it.

I've had my fifth graders "find the science" in their
science fiction. Perhaps my links on my science
fiction page will help.

We have a teacher doing a project for the fantasy
genre where they
design their own fantasy country with maps,
descriptions of the
inhabitants, and more.  They'll be doing power point
presentations, and the best will be placed on our
school website.
