Science and Fantasy Fiction Classics

One of my favorite literature genres is Science Fiction and Fantasy fiction. Many may not agree, but there are MANY classics in this genre that are worth reading. Like traditional high schools, a "class" in these genres may not be required, but some may find it a fun elective "class" or find it part of their passion in reading. We used this as a semester class rather than a full year of study, giving it half a credit.

As a side note on teaching composition, we use the Excellence in Writing program called "Teaching Writing: Structure and Style". I did not purchase anything other than that, the rest of their curriculum is too "textbooky" for me. We use the classics they are reading to practice the subjects of note taking, outlining, summarizing from notes, etc.
