This week we are reading a HISTORICAL FICTION story - which means that the event (the San Francisco Earthquake) really happened but the characters and events that happened were made-up.  The          I-Survived Series are historical fiction novels and Mrs. Larkin's library has a historical fiction basket - you should check them out!

This week, you are going to click on the link and to listen to the historical fiction text.  After you listen to the story, you are going to

(1) write about the story and explain to the best of your ability, what time in history or what historical event happened.
(2) THEN answer, why do you think author's write historical fiction books?

REMEMBER YOU USE periods and capitalizes when you are writing. Many of you are forgetting to create COMPLETE sentences.

(1)The time was 1732 at age 26 Benjamin Franklin had a big ideir. And he wanted to write a omineck.
(2) I think authors write historical fiction books because you learn about something that actually happened but also have some fun with made up things like characters or machines.

(1) i think it was 1732.Ben franklin went to england and invented electricity and he tried to keep USA   and england apart or from having war.
(2) I think authors write historical fiction books so they can tell people about that event without researching what the peoples names were so they have more time to write the book.

Authors write historical fiction to give readers a little bit of information but to give readers a different point of view like different characters.

1.) I think that the year was 1733 when Ben Franklin had the idea to write a almanac that he named "poor richard's almanac''. A almanac is a book that has lots of facts about things you need to know about stuff you see, have, or want.
2.) I think that author's write historical fiction books is to teach you about historical events, and to also make characters to make the story a little more interesting.
