>From long ago....cleaning out my emails. I used War Comes Fighting Ground, Johnny Tremain and My brother Sam is Dead with 5th 6th graders. It was a stretch for a few - we did' Lit circles (but I met regularly with groups) and kept a timeline and a map And did reading logs of events/facts/characters which we could check historically. They also kept track of anytime characters were arguing about taking sides in the war. They then worked in groups to create a readers theater skit from a scene in their books. Did historical research on something they found interesting historically.
You may be long gone...not sure why I'm even replying now. Just intrigued I guess. I miss those days....hope you might still be out there.
