Literature

Each year we use literature to teach reading skills as well as to reinforce other areas of the grade five curriculum.  Some of the genres of literature we utilize include:
Modern Realistic Fiction - This type of fiction involves situations and characters that could truly exist.  One of the books that we use in this genre is On My Honor. 

Historical Fiction - This type of fiction takes place during a specific period of time in the past.  Although the story is fictitious, it may include characters and events which really occurred.  One of the books that we use in this genre is The Fighting Ground.

Biography - This type of wriiting is the true account of someone's life.  It may be written by the subject, (an autobiography), or may be authored by another person.  One of our biography in-class books is It Came From Ohio! the life of popular children's writer R. L. Stine.

Fantasy - This genre of literature includes events which could not happen in real life, such as talking animals, time travel, etc.  One of the books we use in this genre is The Castle in the Attic.
