Time Travel Prediction 2

As mentioned before 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. This time instead of imagining what life would be like for your main character if he or she travel to the present, what would life be like for you if you traveled back to the setting of your novel. First, identify the time period of your novel. Second, describe how life would be different for you as a result of the historical setting. Finally, predict what characters you would or would not be friends with and why. 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 you would or would not get a long with him or her.

Chapter Title - What's in a Name

Part of being a good reader is determining the main idea or theme of what you read. Authors do this all the time for titles of the book and titles of chapters. After reading the article "Choosing the Right Name for Your Story." Choose a chapter in your historical fiction book. If it has a title, explain why or how that title is fitting for the chapter. If you think the chapter should have a different title, explain what title it should have and why. Or, if your chapter does not have a title, give it one and explain how it fits that chapter.
