A class roster will be passed around A class roster will be passed around. Please write your knowledge number on the roster.

Historical Fiction Novel Unit Tuesday, October 30

Do Now: What is Historical Fiction? Open your journal to page 4 You should have the question above as the title for that page. Write a definition in a complete sentence.

Homework None

Grouping Mrs. Huffman will now place you in groups of three and give you a folder. Inside you will find examples of historical fiction and non-examples of historical fiction You will complete the chart given to your group. Write all group members names on the chart– you will only need to complete one per group

After the chart is completed… do the following: Compare and contrast the various aspects of the examples and nonexamples in your group folder. This step is group discussion and each person taking notes in his/her journal Record in your reflective journal (p. 4)the aspects/criteria of examples and nonexamples that your group used to complete your comparisons. Everyone needs to do this in their journal Use your comparisons to develop a small-group working definition of historical fiction. Write this definition in your journal.

Definition sharing, discussion, and consensus. Reconvene as a whole class and we will share our small-group working definitions. We will discuss the various definitions and then combine and refine them as necessary to create a whole-class working definition of the historical fiction genre. Record the definition in your reflective journal, writing it on page 4 of your journal and surrounding it with a box. This definition is what we will use from now on.

Thank you. Have a nice day!
