H – Literature
Online | February 7, 2025-March 7, 2025
Friday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM
A fascinating way to learn about historical events is by reading middle grade fiction. These authors have done extensive research into a particular historical event and work hard to write a compelling tale that is both informative and easy to read. Many adults read middle grade fiction for their own enjoyment. We read five historical novels, including some that are Newbery Award winners and even a few that have been banned! Please read Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson for first class. Required text: Fever 1793, Laurie Halse Anderson.
