I kick off my historical fiction unit by going through a quick overview of the first two lessons.<\/p>\n<h3>Historical Fiction Lesson Idea 1<\/h3>\n<p>Consider starting this unit with an overview of the genre of historical fiction.\u00a0 Depending on your students\u2019 background knowledge, this may be a brief review, or it may include more in-depth studies.\u00a0 Some of these could be done before reading, others as you work through the text, and others after a text is finished.<\/p>\n<p>I create a slide show with background information about the genre.\u00a0 I want students to understand that historical fiction is a TYPE of fiction so it has all the characteristics of fiction.\u00a0 There are characters, settings, key events, problems, solutions, themes, and more.\u00a0 What makes it different than other forms of fiction is the focus on\u00a0<strong>setting<\/strong>.\u00a0 This forms one key part of our historical fiction studies.<\/p>\n<p><a

width=\"345\" height=\"460\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Historical Fiction Lesson Idea 2<\/h3>\n<p>To build off of this, I work with the class or small groups to sort picture books into realistic fiction, historical fiction, information texts, and fantasy texts.\u00a0 We work together to generate <u>anchor charts<\/u> that list characteristics of each.\u00a0 What are the \u201ctelling features\u201d of each?\u00a0 I keep the \u201chistorical fiction\u201d chart accessible throughout the unit and add to it if needed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to watch students discuss the different books as we skim and scan them.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a great time to clear up misconceptions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Informational books don&#8217;t ALWAYS have photos and text features.<\/li>\n<li>Some fictional texts DO have photos, not just illustrations.<\/li>\n<li>Many students struggle with the difference between fantasy (&#8220;made up&#8221;} and realistic fiction and informational.\u00a0 For example, in a novel where the character &#8220;seems&#8221; real&#8211;many students fail to recognize that it&#8217;s a made-up story, even though the character seems real.\u00a0 It seems easier for them to identify &#8220;fiction&#8221; when there are animals that talk or magical things.\u00a0 This is important to help students see.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What happens next?<\/h3>\n<p>As the unit unfolds, we get into more and more depth about the genre.\u00a0 Here are a few more of the lessons we do!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We study different &#8220;eras&#8221; to help build background information.<\/li>\n<li>I create a challenge where we try to read as many historical fiction books as possible.\u00a0 We create a paper chain of titles as we read them.\u00a0 Our goal every year is 100 books&#8211;picture books and novels.\u00a0 We accomplish it every year!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a
