2.  Does the theme emerge slowly and consistently in a natural sense from the story?  It shouldn't be preachy.

3. How does the subject matter relate to modern readers? Taboo topics from history are now becoming a popular subject to read among modern readers. ]]> 2019-02-04 17:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327434640 lindseymcdaniel000764657 https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327441216 Because realistic fiction is set in the real world/modern times, children have a real opportunity to read vicariously through the book in order to form their own opinion and behavior about certain situations. I would like to learn what type of books are considered controversial for today's young readers and how to evaluate them myself. ]]> 2019-02-04 17:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327441216 lindseymcdaniel000764657 https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327446140 2019-02-04 18:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327446140 lindseymcdaniel000764657 https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327490656 After evaluating realistic fiction myself, I would share titles with students who have gone through similar experiences as the book. The student could be reading a book autobiographically and recognize they are not alone in their personal experience. It's also important to share these stories with students who have not gone through similar experiences, in order for them to gain empathy for people who have. ]]> 2019-02-04 19:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lindseymcdaniel000764657/586v8fxf9to3/wish/327490656
