Historical fiction is literature that represents a true time, person, or place from the past but the actual store itself is fiction.
Historical fiction is a great way to introduce history to students in a fun way. Most students you put a history book in front of them and their eyes glaze over before they hit the second paragraph. Historical fiction can keep them interested. For example if teaching the Battle of the Alamo most kids don't want to hear the facts and the dates but if you give them a story about the battle that includes some fictional characters maybe who were there just to bring letters back and forth for the families and told the story from their eyes and told some of the true events, that may be more interesting for the students. It keeps their imagination going while learning history at the same time.
