Fiction by Date (Franklin Middle School, Fairfax
[VA] County Public Schools) offers a bibliography of historical fiction for middle
schoolers, listed by the
date of the plot. April 2000. |
|
| Abstract: A bibliography of
historical fiction for middle schoolers, arranged chronologically by the
date the story takes place. "This is helpful if a student is trying
to find a story set during a certain year or during a certain time
period such as the Middle Ages or The Great Depression or World War
II, for example. If a story takes place over a range of time, the date
listed is one that seems central to the plot." ø |

Why
& How I Teach with Historical Fiction By
Tarry Lindquist (see
above!!)
Here's the story on historical fiction in my classroom: It illuminates time
periods, helps me integrate the curriculum, and enriches social studies. Just
take Amy's word for it. At the end of our westward-expansion unit, while
modeling her journal entry after a fictional account we'd read, this fifth
grader wrote: "Dear Diary, July 30, 1852: This journey has been
heart-wrenching, thirst-quenching, and most of all, an adventure I will never
forget." Blending stories into a study of history turns the past into a
dynamic place.
