Description / Abstract
California public school English curriculums have the opportunity to more actively engage students in literary analysis by utilizing the fantasy genre in the classroom. The mainstream-cultural reception of the fantasy genre as child-like or unserious has translated into American educational values. Current Common Core curriculums do not incorporate fantasy literature into secondary education in favor of books that encompass both American history and textbook literary techniques. However, fantasy literature is equally capable of providing powerful academic enrichment to students in secondary English classrooms through the unique narrative transportation and reflective experience the genre creates. This paper will explore the educational value of the fantasy genre by using "The Stormlight Archives" as a case study to demonstrate how fantasy can be used as a reflective tool to explore complex societal issues in secondary classrooms.
