Historical Fiction Class of 2011
The Historical Fiction Class of 2011

Course by Laurie Block Spigel: Children's Historical Fiction

Students selected an event or figure in history to research. Then they wrote about their subject from a fictional point of view. This class included hours of research and writing at home and in class. Completing the project also requires additional hours for illustrations to be made. The stories were then turned into books
