This
month your task is to read a book in the Historical Fiction Genre. These
books use a real event or time period in history as the backdrop to the story. By taking a mix of fiction, the new character, and mixing in some history, leaders and events, the author uses a story to teach you about the time, person, or event.
The
FOCUS for this month will be SETTING. When you read a book, the setting is not just a place where the events take place. This is especially true in Historical Fiction novels. It is almost as if the setting is a character. That is exactly what we want you to look at this month. As you read, find ways in which the setting has an impact on the events and characters of the story. Create a list of how and why the setting had an influence. Look for 3-5 examples.
After
finishing the book, please leave a comment including the following
things: - 3-5 sentence summary (do not give away the ending)
- Write two of the ways in which the setting played a vital part in the story.
- finally whether you would recommend the book and why/why not.
For this please use the RATE format.
Restate and Answer (We would/would not recommend this book).
Tell why.
Explain why.
