The 34-page Historical Fiction Genre Study Book Report is designed for grades 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, but it can easily be modified for lower or higher grades. This book report is an excellent supplement to a unit on a particular historical period. Through reading historical fiction, students can gain a deeper appreciation for historical periods and how they relate to the present day. The goal of this lesson is to introduce students to the genre of historical fiction and to help them understand its importance and significance. By the end of the lesson, students should have a good understanding of what historical fiction is. Students will read a historical fiction novel, analyze its characters, plot, and author's craft , and present their findings to a small group. The book report includes a detailed lesson plan on the historical fiction genre, objectives and learning targets aligned to the Common Core standards, directions for the book report with handouts and worksheets for students, a student self-evaluation, and a grading sheet for teachers. Many students enjoy reading historical fiction, especially if they are learning about the period in their History/Social Studies class. If you do the genre study component of this resource, the book report offers a high-quality culminating project. In addition, if you teach a Language Arts/History Core or plan with a History/Social Studies partner-teacher, this is an excellent resource for both classes and provides students with a different way to engage with history. Historical fiction is an essential genre for students for a variety of reasons because it makes the study of history more engaging and interesting and it brings the past to life. Students gain a deeper appreciation for historical periods and how they relate to the present day, It also improves critical thinking skills by giving students opportunities tothink critically about the events and people from the past, analyze and interpret historical events, understand different perspectives,and it encourages empathy, tolerance, and respect because students learn to see history through the eyes of characters from different time periods and cultures Historical Fiction Genre Study Book Report includes the following: 2 comprehensive and interactive lesson plans: Book Browse lesson plan Historical Fiction Genre lesson plan with common core standards, objectives, and learning targets easy-to-follow student directions Note taking Guide Note taking Guide Chart Spoke Diagram Plot Diagram Character Chart Sensory Description Chart Other Elements in Historical Fiction Chart Storyboard Presentation in Small Groups Directions Self-Evaluation of Historical Fiction Book Report Check-Off and Grading Sheet Other Resources You Might Be Interested In: Book Reports: Autobiography/Biography Genre Study Book Report and Speech Book into Movie Project: Compare and Contrast Book Report and Essay Book Jacket Book Report Character Analysis Essay, Gift for a Character Book Report, and Oral Presentation Historical Fiction Genre Study Book Report Historical Fiction Genre Study Literature Circle Project Poetry Book Report Mini-Reviews Book Report Mystery, Thriller, Horror, and Suspense Genre Study Book Report Narrative Nonfiction Genre Study Book Report Project Poetry Book Report Dystopian.

The Constitution is A Living Document: A Project to Assess Knowledge and Understanding
Social Studies, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Projects, Activities
The most important thing about this project, The Consitution is a Living Document, is how students truly internalize how the Constitution is not just some old stuffy document but really is alive in our lives and protects our rights and our democracy. I have had students come back to me when they are in high school to tell me how much they got out of this project. I have also had several students tell me they helped their immigrant parents pass the citizenship test. They were able to teach their parents about our government. My favorite is how many 8th-grade students tell me they are now interested in current events and regularly follow the news! The purpose of this project, The Consitution is a Living Document, is to assess students’ knowledge and understanding of the Constitution. The project is divided into 3 sections. The first section focuses on the Constitution, particularly Articles 1, 2, and 3. They will write an essay and then read 3 news articles that connect to each of these articles. They will summarize the articles and analyze how this news event connects to each of these articles. In Section 2, students will write an essay on the Bill of Rights and Amendments and read 7 more current events news articles, summarize them, and then analyze how each event connects to a specific amendment. The third section includes a Conclusion essay in which they reflect back on what they learned about themselves, doing a project of this magnitude, and about the Constitution,and a Bibliography. This is a comprehensive project and will take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. For each section, I provide lesson plans with objectives and learning targets aligned with the Common Core Standards. teacher directions, student directions, handouts, graphic organizers, check-off sheets, and rubrics. This project could be easily modified to fit a shorter time frame. With modifications, it is appropriate for students in 6th through 12th grades. This project is part of my unit: “Our Living Consitution” which is designed using the Into, Through, and Beyond model of lesson planning. This project can be taught independently, but it is an excellent summative assessment for all my lessons on the Constitution in my unit. The lessons in the Constitution unit can be used independently or as a supplement to what you already teach or as a whole. Here is a summary of what is in the unit: Into Lessons: Creating Schema Lesson 1: Overview of the Constitution of the United States of America Slideshow and Notetaker Lesson 2: Origins of the Constitution Essential Terms and Notetaker Lesson 3: The Seven Principles of the Constitution Through Lessons: Learning the Content Lesson 4: The Goals of the Preamble, which includes a Preamble Project Lesson 5: The Three Branches of Government: Articles 1, 2, and 3 Lesson 6: How a Bill Becomes a Law and Project Lesson 7: Federalism and the System of Checks and Balances Lesson 8: Articles 4-7 Lesson 9: The Bill of Rights Unit (and a Little About Amendments 11-27) Extras (from the Unit: Every Four Years… The Presidential Election) Lesson 10: What Are Your Political Viewpoints?
