My Project

Students will be able to choose a topic that will interest them. This unit will be paired with non-fiction articles about our world today. By donating to our project, you will help us allow choice in our historical fiction unit, which will ultimately help us increase their engagement and academic achievement.

Students will be able to choose from a variety of topics in history and use these historical fiction books to read individually or in small groups at their own level.

As a 6th grade Lang & Lit team, we have divided the books into thirds on Donor's Choose so we have something for every 6th grade student.
