November Reading Challenge: Step Back in Time with Historical Fiction
The November Reading Challenge is officially underway!
The Challenge: Read two historical fiction books.
What Is Historical Fiction? It is a made-up story set during a real time period in the past. While the main characters and specific plot events are created by the author, details like the setting, clothing, daily life, and major events match historical facts. A simple way to remember it: Real history + made-up story = historical fiction.
How to Enter: Complete a reading form for each book you finish and turn it in to your ELA teacher or Miss Bruens in the library by Monday, November 30th.
The Reward: Finish the November challenge to earn a delicious lunch from Pueblo Lindo on Wednesday, December 2nd!
