Genre: Magical Realism (Beginner Creative Writing)

What happens when magic lives quietly inside the ordinary? This beginner creative writing unit teaches magical realism—where the extraordinary is treated as normal. Students start with a personal "Writer in Me" introduction (skippable or expandable), then learn the genre's history and conventions, explore mentor texts like One Hundred Years of Solitude, and write their own short story with three prompt options. Includes lessons on key techniques, popular works, outlining guides, and a full teacher's guide with rubrics and pacing support. Perfect for beginner creative writing, workshops, or sub plans. No prep stress—just print and go.
