Historical Fiction:
Historical
fiction is the sister of contemporary fiction and the major difference between
the two is the time setting. Both genres have the same location but the time
frame that it occurred in is different. Historical fiction is considered before
The Civil Rights Act in 1964. Some major eras described in historical fiction
are; ancient settings, medieval times, colonial years, revolutionary era, the
early frontier days, civil war, post-civil war frontier, world war I, great
depression, world war II, post-world war II and civil rights movement. By
encouraging the children to explore historical fiction we can improve knowledge
and attitudes towards the subject.
It is my
goal to provide historical stories that:
·
Have believable characters.
·
Authentic illustrations, language and settings.
·
Avoiding any contradictions with real
history.
