My Project
One of the English Language Arts units I teach is historical fiction. In this unit students are immersed in a variety of topics from American history. They learn about real events and sometimes real people, but with fictional stories.
Students read from their choice of historical fiction for thirty minutes each day. The challenge is providing them with a variety of topics at a variety of levels to meet individual student needs and interests. This project will help bring in books that span topics such as the Gold Rush, the Civil War, the American Revolutionary War, and both world wars to name a few. It will also help me cater to reading levels below and above grade level reading. Additionally, it will aid in building background knowledge for these historical events.
After reading multiple books students focus on the lessons each author is trying to teach readers. They form an opinion based on these lessons and write a comparative essay.
Donations to this project are now being matched, thanks to support from Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation.
