We also have one teacher for Social Studies and English, and we cover the same time period in our Social Studies curriculum. We read Seven Daughters and Seven Sons, by Barbara Cohen to tie into the unit on the Muslim Empire, and we read The Midwife's Apprentice to tie into the unit on the Middle Ages.
Let me know if you want some lesson plans for either book.

Subject: [LIT] Historical fiction Hi, I have 6th graders this year and I'm teaching both Language Arts and Social Studies - Early World History. I'd like to correlate my read aloud novels with the current study occurring in Soc. St. Has anyone read an historical fiction book themselves or to their students that is set anytime between paleolithic through the 16th century? Any helpful ideas would be appreciated.
