January Book-of-the-Month

January Book-of-the-Month
Select an Historical Fiction or Multicultural Fiction Book on a topic you’d like to learn more about.  You will be doing research on that topic.  For instance, if you select a book set during the Civil War, you will do research about the Civil War.  So choose a book and topic you are interested in. 
Historical Fiction and Multicultural      Fiction are both types of realistic fiction.  The people could have existed in reality (though most often the main character is made up), and the events could have happened.  Some mixed genres (such as books that are mostly historical but include time travel) may be approved.  See me to check on individual titles.
See our class blog for recommended books.  There are boxes of historical fiction in our classroom for checkout.  Look also in the media center.
