Historical Fiction

What is Historical Fiction?

Historical fiction consists of books in which the setting and scene is set in the past,may have some real people or places, but the main characters and story are fictional. Many children gain knowledge about the people,values beliefs, hardships and physical surroundings commo to various periods. Also through historical fiction children can discover that in all times, people have depended on one another and that they have had similar needs.

How can you use Historical Fiction in classroom?

You can have the students do a timeline of the book they have read for the week or you can have each group read a book and they come up with their own timeline of what happened in their own books. I believe every child should like historical fiction because it's important information about the past,present and future. I know I will be using historical fiction in my classroom.

Contemporary Realistic Fiction

Contemporary Fiction that everything in a realistic story consistent with the lives of real people in our contempoary world. The world realistic does not mean the story is always true. Super natural does not exist. Some the books that would be contemporary Realistic Fiction are: The Boxcar children, Romana The Pest, Curious George.

2. How can you this genre in your classroom?

I would use genre in a lot of ways in my classroom. I pick out one of my favorite books such as the "The Boxcar Children" We would talk about the story,then I would have the students do activities about the book. They could pick out their favorite character out of the book ,and write a about that character. I would draw a huge train and the students would come up with what the children had on the boxcar and add some of their favorite things they would want on the boxcar.
