Historical Fiction

What is Historical Fiction?
Historical Fiction consist of books in whichthe settings and scenes are set in the past it may have real people or places, but the main characters and story are fictional.
How can you use Historical Fiction in the classroom?
I think you can use historical fiction in the classroom in many ways. The children are able to read these books and get a understanding of what it was like in the past. They will be able to see what it was like to live in that time and place. I think it would be good to have the students read a book then have them compare and constast what it was like to live in the past to how it is now.
