Making a Magical Creature

Introduce Into the Land of the Unicorns and read the excerpt from the book.
Here is a brief summary of the plot up until this point: Cara’s grandmother gave her a special necklace while they were running from an evil hunter. She told her to whisper the words “Luster bring me home,” so that she could escape the evil man. Cara had to jump from a high clock tower and whisper these words while holding the special necklace. When Cara woke up she was in a different world where strange things started happening to her. The part I’m going to read starts just after Cara has escaped a delver, which is an evil creature that keeps trying to steal Cara’s necklace.
Have students think of various kinds of magical creatures and generate a list on the board. Have students think about the types of powers their creature might have and where it might live.
Review briefly nouns and adjectives. Explain why they are important in creating a character. In this case, you are trying to create something specific and unique. The more descriptive words that you use, such as color, the more unique your character becomes.
Have students create a collaborative magical creature
Below are prompts for the collaborative paragraph. Leave these prompts on the board after the collaborative activity. Students can use these prompts in the creation of their own magical creature.
1) Does the creature look like other animals?
2) Does any part of it look human?
3) What color is it?
4) How tall is it?
5) What language does it speak?
6) How does it speak? Through the mouth or some other way?
7) What kinds of special powers does it have?
8) What does it eat? What is their favorite food?

10) Where does the creature live?
11) Does it live alone or with other people?
12) What does it like to do for fun?
13) What is your creatures’ name?
Show students how to format answers to these questions into a paragraph. Make sure they don’t just answer the question, but begin to construct a character.
Example: My creature is part fairy and part horse. Her name is Celia the FairyHorse. She uses her wings to fly, and then she runs through the air. She lives in a mountain of clouds with her mother and father. She speaks French in the sky, but English on the ground. She talks with her eyes, and humans can’t hear her.

Reviews for "The Spellbinding Magic of DMC: A Journey into the Impossible"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars
I was really looking forward to watching "The incredible magic of dmc" as I am a fan of magic shows. However, I was left disappointed. The tricks performed by DMC were underwhelming and predictable, I felt like I had seen them all before. The pacing of the show was also off, with too much time spent on unnecessary banter and not enough time spent on actual magic. Overall, I found the show to be unimpressive and would not recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 1 star
"The incredible magic of dmc" was a complete letdown for me. The magic tricks performed by DMC were lackluster and failed to capture my attention. The production quality of the show was also subpar, with the stage setup looking cheap and unappealing. I was expecting to be amazed and entertained, but instead, I found myself bored and uninterested throughout the entire performance. Save yourself the time and money, this show is not worth it.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "The incredible magic of dmc," but sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. While DMC showed some skill in his magic tricks, it was nothing extraordinary or mind-blowing. Furthermore, the show lacked a cohesive theme or storyline, making it feel disjointed and disconnected. The overall experience left me feeling unimpressed and wanting more. I would not recommend this show to anyone seeking an extraordinary magic performance.
