Historical Fiction Freebie

This month's Genre of the Month is Historical Fiction so during this week's Media Lesson we are reviewing what makes a book Historical Fiction.  To help students practice identifying Historical Fiction books, I created a little activity to do after the review.  Students read a description of a book and then decide if the book is a Historical Fiction book.



You can download a FREE copy of the lesson which includes 2 PowerPoints (one for 2nd-3rd grade and one for 4th-5th grade), a free author poster, and 2 worksheets by clicking HERE or on the picture above. Enjoy!
