Ch 12 Overview

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.

History was one of my least favorite subjects. I never enjoyed reading or learning about it. However, I believe chapter 12 helped me learn the importance of historical fiction. After reading the section about textbooks versus trade books, I learned that trade books could be a great resource when teaching about historical events. I think that history was boring to me because it was just a short boring paragraph about an event. However, if you get an event and make it become alive, students will be interested and more willing to learn.
