The week the sixth grade students read a nonfiction selection on Mt. Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii. Tomorrow we will be reading a historical nonfiction selection about a blind boy and his dog as they try to flee the city during the eruption.
The students will be focusing on the elements of the story that reinforce the nonfiction genre. Historical fiction includes all the elements of fiction: character, setting, plot, and theme. Writers of historical fiction include historical facts, actual events, and imaginary details into stories. Its purpose is to entertain and inform.
