7.RL.9: Compare and Contrast Historical Fiction & Historical Accounts | Grade 7

Description

Are you teaching students how to compare and contrast historical fiction and historical accounts? Do you need a resource to help your 7th grade students understand how authors of fiction use or alter history?  By the time they are done with these activities in this standards-based resource, students will:

• Distinguish the difference between fiction and historical accounts
• Compare and contrast historical fiction v. nonfiction
• Analyze the reasons why an author might alter history for a specific purpose

This resource includes everything you need to check for understanding of RL7.9 including a summative assessment with a rubric. All answer keys are also included.
