Historical fiction is a story that has the setting or the scene in the past. This story may have some real people or places, but the main characters and story are fictional. Historical fiction must have a credible plot, historical authenticity, realistic setting, and most importantly the language and the setting must fit with the time period.
In the classroom we can use historical fiction to teach about a specific time in the past or a specific situation from the past. For example the book we got was set after World War II. This fit perfect with the story because it talked about people not having money and how things had to be traded for necessities. It really taught us something about that time period that we really didn't know. We knew that there was no money, but we did not know how things were being purchased at this time.

About Me
- Elizabeth
- I am a full-time student and mother. I have two beautiful girls. One is 3 years old and the other is about to turn 2, very close in age I know. I decided to become a teacher not only because I love children, but because I would love to work while my children are in school and have the same days off like them. This will allow me to still be very close to my kids.
