Greetings!
It is very important as we read historical fiction to understand as much as we can about the time period in which the book takes place. Below you will find links to information that may help you understand more about different times in history. Enjoy exploring and reading more about the times your characters lived in.

What this blog is about...

I intended to use this blog as a place to write my reactions to books, as well as gather reactions of others. I may continue to do this, but I am expanding this blog to include links that may be useful to teachers & students as they explore the world of reading and writing. Enjoy! Please leave comments about links you enjoy and those that you don't.
