‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Sample Assessments**
Students will rewrite a piece of historical fiction as a contemporary story. This can be accompanied by a writing journal in which students describe the ways they had to change the events and characters because of the different time period involved. Students should be able to see how authors of historical fiction use events from the past to reveal universal themes of the human condition.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Differentiation-**
 * Investigate a Book activity-Various activities that correlate with Bloom's technology are listed and each student chooses the activities he/she is to complete on the book they have read.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Intervention:**
 * Using Venn diagrams to compare and contrast types of media
 * mini-lesson on two column note taking
 * divide in small groups /parallel teaching with a co-teacher
 * KWL chart

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Enrichment:**
 * use flip-cams to record your own interpretation of a historical event
 * create a power point on a historical event from the perspective of someone who lived during that time, For example, make a powerpoint on electing the first president from the view of George Washington

===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Notes and Additional Information**===
 * Seventh grade students notice the similarities and differences between historical fiction and a factual text.
 * Students need to interact with content expressed through multiple and varied formats (written, audio, staged, multimedia).
 * The use of Discovery Ed, but especially Youtube will enhance student integration of knowledge and ideas.
 * Selections such as "Seventh Grade", "All Summer in a Day", and novels such as __Animal Farm__ and __The Lord of the Flies__, and __A Wrinkle in Time__ can be used for this.
 * Compare and contrast a written story with its filmed or theatrical version. Specifically examine the tools used to produce video, film, or theater (e.g., lighting, sound, color, camera angles) by comparing a written text (i.e., Cyrano) to its staged or multimedia version. (Note: Use select scenes from the 1987 movie Roxanne.)
 * "Roxanne" 1987 movie (Steve Martin) selected scenes
 * Historical fiction such as __The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg__ by Rodman Philbrick is based on true events. Write a response to this question in your journal: How does the author’s style (i.e., word choice) affect the believability of the main character? Justify your answer with specific details from the text.
