I need a list of title for our Historical fiction/nonfiction book report to give to the students.
Do you know of any good ones?
Thanks, Fourth Grade Teacher

After all his success he feels it is time to give back. As a result, David has teamed up with curriculum development researchers to create The Avin Project. The goal of the project is to help teachers cultivate the same love of reading in young adults that he experienced through reading fantasy books when he was a teen.
Working with David, the team has created a comprehensive Common Core State Standards based reading and writing experience based on his newest acclaimed fantasy novel The Gamble of the Godless. In the interest of accessibility and fairness he wants to give the book and the curriculum away to schools and students for free. In return, the research team is only asking for feedback from students and teachers in the form of an anonymous questionnaire about their experience. That's it!
The Avin Project is designed for: -Language Arts classes -Writing classes -Reading classes -Supplementary reading initiatives -Book Clubs -Home school groups
Students and teachers will receive at no charge: -As many free digital copies of The Gamble of the Godless as needed -Accompanying Common Core State Standards aligned curriculum -Multiple opportunities for students to speak with David personally via video chat about the novel, the curricular activities, writing tips and many other topics
We are actively recruiting for the last few spots in the program. We anticipate launching the project in the second semester at the school’s convenience. For more information about the project as well as a free copy of the full curriculum and the first few chapters of The Gamble of the Godless head on over to:

Hello all,
Question, this is my first time teaching a story (I'm doing a sample lesson) And I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Two Kinds is a great story to teach about theme and imagery. I'm just not sure exactly how to go about it. This would be for 10th grade. Any and all help/advice would be great! Thank you so much!!
This is a great site that might help you when you are selecting your next novel.

Do you prefer extensive, all-inclusive teachers' guides that you can tailor for the particular needs of your class or compact, one-size-fits-all versions that are ready to use? Why? (When answering, please provide your grade level)

Main idea is a fuzzy thing even for older kids - at a faculty meeting, we often can't agree on what exactly the main idea is... so that second graders can't get it sounds normal to me.
I recommend a book called Mosaic of Thought if you want to know more about fostering comprehension. I'd also say that sec...See More
