REAL OR FANTASY

     Reference: Anchor’s Away, pp.6-27

     When you read story, you need to be able to tell if an event is real or true. Sometimes authors make up events or people in stories that are imaginary or not true. Imaginary events are called fantasy.

Real- events that are true and happens in real life.

Example: My mother is a seamstress.

A pattern was made and the fabric was cut to make a costume.

Fantasy: events that are imaginary and impossible to happen in reality.

Example: Buttons, scissors, threads and thimbles all shouted at each other.
