The Martian Chronicles: Concept Analysis

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

If you're planning on including Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles in your science fiction unit, use a concept analysis guide to frame your instruction. It covers literary elements such as setting, narrative voice, and theme, as well as any affective issues and vocabulary to anticipate during reading.

Instructional Ideas

  • Use when planning your novel unit to augment your instruction
  • Have kids fill out their own concept analysis form with the story elements they encounter
  • Include the extension projects as part of your curriculum instead of book reports

Classroom Considerations

  • Some pictures are in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't be a problem
  • Best used as a reference guide, as it doesn't include activities for kids to complete

Pros

  • Addresses key parts of the novel's structure and plot
  • Include fun and engaging extension project ideas

Cons

  • None
