Historical+Context

=Historical Context =

This is going to take some more research!!! Tell us what the historical context is surrounding your book. In other words, what is going on in the world that we need to know in order to understand what is going on in your book? 1. Research events in the country your book is set in. 2. Research the people (either groups, individuals, famous people, etc.) that are mentioned in your book 3. Research the year(s) that the book was set in 4. Research global issues going on that would have an impact on your book 5. Research another topic that is relevant to your book.

Be creative in finding information that would help us all understand what is going on in your book. Each of these responses should be several sentences, not simply phrases...so dig deep!!! If you are having trouble getting one of these topics to relate to your book, then find something else that will help us make sense of what your book is about. INCLUDE YOUR SOURCES PLEASE!!!!!! (always do this when an assignment says research--always include your sources)
