What is Historical Fiction?
Historical Fiction is a short discussions of events in the time period that they reflect in the hope that a chronological framework gives you a good understanding of the history portrayed in that time period.
How can we use it in the classroom?
Historical Fiction in the classroom can be used for discussing past historical events. A lesson can be planned around a historical event and the students can role play those events. This allows the student to get the feel of what life was in during those events. Students may dress, cook and work with arts and craft to learn get the feeling hands on of that time period.

I believe role playing is something that engages the students to become active in the historical events relative to the timeperiod in which the book is in. Good idea!
