During their time in the Intermediate School, our eighth grade students have been immersing themselves in literary techniques in English class and research skills in history class. Now, they are combining aspects of both classes as they research an event or era in twentieth-century United States history and then compose a short work of fiction set in that time period. After many weeks of planning, drafting, and revising, here are the historical fiction pieces from Mr. Fishback's English classes.
