Now coming to some really amazing news that we would seriously like to share with students as it will give them some more shivers and will make them jump with joy and happiness.

The series, based on author George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood, follows the the Targaryen family 300 years before the events of the original series. And in the first glimpse of the new series, the relatives of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) are sporting the mother of dragon's white-blond hair.
“House of the Dragon has been in development for several years (though the title has changed a couple of times during that process),” Martin wrote on his blog in response to news of the series pickup.
“It was actually the first concept I pitched to HBO when we started talking about a successor show, way back in the summer of 2016.”
House of Dragon recently began production and is set to debut in 2022. The three images show five of the series' characters standing stoically on a beach (maybe the shores of Dragonstone, the longtime seat of Targaryen power) clad in Westeros' best finery.
The second image shows Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower and his daughter Alicent Hightower.
Otto is the Hand of the King to the current ruler of Westeros, King Viserys Targaryen.
"Ser Otto loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm," according to HBO's character description. "As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king's brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne."
Alicent is described by HBO as "the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms." She was raised in the Red Keep, in King's Landing, "close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen."

In the final image, Steve Toussaint is pictured as Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka "The Sea Snake." He's the heir to a house of Valyrian blood as old as the Targaryens, and is "the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros. Lord Corlys built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world."
The real hints for fans eager for the new series are in the character descriptions HBO provided along with the three images in a news release.
The show will debut on HBO and on its streaming platform HBO Max in 2022. Let's be patient.
But you can show the spinoff to your students. They will be glad! These images provide glimpses of the cast, which features ‘The Crown’s Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint and more.
Education:
A play and a prequel? A true sequel? Yes. Two interesting themes to include into your lessons - remote learning or in-person lessons.

Teachers are invited to read my publications :
As I wrote, a Narrative text lets us know something. It tells us what happened. It tells us a story. Our students love to hear narrations. And Game of Thrones was a huge success among young people. Among teachers as well.
Movies, TV and streaming series based on children and teen books are an attractive and enjoyable digital resources to motivate students to read at school or on remote learning.
So, we can motivate young readers, presenting literary books trough movies, actually, streaming series or TV series due the Covid-19 pandemic.

Whatever we take from this series, everything is just extremely fantastic and fabulous. Don't you think?
The bestselling inspired the popular HBO streaming saga Game of Thrones. And it was the HBO series that inspired students to read the books. Movies or series offer teachers and students a nice captivating push!
Some teen literature is difficult for the 'screen-generation' to read. Movies or TV series adaptation can help students to understand better those books, to appreciate and enjoy the book by having a different approach before... or after.
They strain to hear the latest news about what happens over the week and they rush to watch the latest TV or streaming series that promise a good story! We know that! So, get ready!
