Help me with my magical realism unit that just got dismantled
I am teaching Creative Writing at a high school charter school. I was going to use the film "Big Fish" as the finale to the unit on magical realism before having the students write their own magical realism stories. I just got an e-mail from the art/drama teacher telling me that she showed Big Fish to the same students for her storytelling unit because they're going to write "big fish" stories.
So, now, I need some help. I'm looking for ideas on what to do instead to wrap up the unit. I'm thinking that I'd like to find another movie in the "magical realism" vein, but I can't think of any good ones off the top of my head.
I'm looking for suggestions, anything would help. I'm pretty angry right now with how this all transpired, and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks.
