We chose historical fiction and used them for reading and social studies. Reading about fictional characters was a fun and easy way for the students to learn about different time periods. We filled in with information and projects to help the students understand the historical and cultural backgrounds of the books. Favorites here (which could be because of Ohio's location as part of the underground railroad) are always books about escaping slaves, but we have books on many parts of American history and different cultures as represented in American history.
