Book Information

This volume aims to make Year 7 pupils both good story writers and experts in what everyday life was like in the Roman Empire. Readers are taken step-by-step through the process of writing good historical fiction, so that they can write a story that is readable and interesting but which is also historically well-informed. In this work they: use a range of types of evidence and see how even simple evidence from the distant past - even something as simple as a Roman helmet - can tell us a lot about life in those times; they examine many examples of historical fiction by established writers analyzing how they have used setting, character and plot to make their story believable; they do word and sentence level work in the manner of the Literacy framework; and they write their own story. A teachers' resource book is also available.
