Expanding Literacy Through Historical Fiction

Help me give my students the ability to expand their horizons by reading stories rooted in history. Historical fiction literature can get students interested and excited about the past while reading and learning about its importance.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love getting my students excited about social studies. History, current events, geography, all play a role in shaping our lives as we create our own history. I want my students to fully immerse themselves into that.

This project would allow students to learn about the world around them and history through the eyes of these notable authors.

Historical fiction gives students the chance to learn more about significant world events while as they read. There is such a focus on improving grade level reading. These stories would get students excited about reading.
