Historical Fiction- is linked to a short discussion of events in the time period that they reflect in the hope that this chronological framework will give you a better understanding of the sweep of history. (per text book)

I would use Historical Fiction in the class room. This is very important because it's always good to know the past. But the fun part about this is you get to put your own twist to the story. History can sometimes be boring for us as adults so you can relate to how the students must fell about it. To be able to create a story and catch there interest and they get to learn is good.
