I loved your presentation on bringing historical fiction into the classroom. This fuels the imaginations while also building a time-line in students' minds about actual historical events. I believe this instills empathy and takes students through a time machine, allowing them to wonder about how it would feel, exploring the emotions of children of long ago who were thrown into these experiences. Thank you!
