You should record the pages your read and the days that your read them in your Reader's sourcebook (also in the table of contents)
- You should summarize your reading.
- You should write down any questions you have about the text.
- You should write down at least one thing that you could visualize.
- You should write down what you notice the author doing as far using history to help tell the story.
Your next major creative assignment will be to write a historical fiction short story of your own creation set during the time in history we are working on... 1700-1800. You will be using the facts that we discuss in class as well as the details you learn from your reading books to help with the details in your story.
Take good notes... words that are used... the ways characters are described. These notes will help you later.

After the soldiers invaded her home her family has been separated Willies father is dead, and now she has to pretend to be a boy to fight. Willy is just learning how to fight and use weapons such as muskets so she isn’t a very experienced solider. I can visualize what Willy is going through. Willy is going through a very hard time in her life. Willy has lost a lot her father her family and her horse. She is very lonely and doesn’t have anyone to comfort her. The author of this book is using history to help tell the story of Willy. He is using history by putting Willy in the battles that were being fought in America at the time and by using the loses that Willy has faced. A lot of fathers died. Willies father died.
