These historical fiction texts dive deep into development of character, setting, mood, and themes that many middle school students identify with. While we pair these texts with our writing unit we also use them as a mentor text to guide students to deeper level thinking with historical content.
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. We hold reading and writing conferences on the soft carpet, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.
All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched various reading trends over the years and historical fiction, particularly World War II era books, are very popular items. By increasing the volume of these books, students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
