Explore The Future in science fiction and realistic stories for students of all ages.

Depending on the Phase of Development, interests and abilities of your students there are various ways of approaching a theme related to the future.

The different approaches are organised according to what is considered to be appropriate to students' interests and abilities in each Phase of Development.

For example, with the very young we reflect upon the more immediate future rather than on scenarios set in distant times. However, many approaches can be explored with students at a range of levels, especially when working with students beyond Early Childhood.
