Part of reading a historical fiction is to understand the historical setting of your novel. Your main character exists during a time period that is different from our own. What would it be like for your character to travel ahead in time to the year 2012 and be a part of your class at Adams-Friendship Middle School? First, identify your main character and the time period of your novel. Second, describe how life would be different for your main character. Finally, predict who they would or would not be friends with in your class, which classes they might like best or least, and what activities or hobbies they might like. Make sure to support your answers with specific examples from the book – examples of how their time period is different from ours and examples of your character’s personality, proving who they would or would not get along with well.
