There is a link to non-fiction to exemplify the conceptual connections between writing about real and imagined people and places.

Genre & Theme
The work builds on the previous unit by placing characters and settings into the wider framework of genres and themes, so that students gain greater insight into how authors use characters and settings to convey deeper meanings. Studying genre also helps students begin to see how texts relate to one another.
Key text: The Giver by Lois Lowry.
