Literature Interactive Notebook Activities Literary Elements Historical Fiction

Teaching literary devices and literature elements, discussion, and analysis through historical fiction literature and literature interactive notebook lessons in middle school is finally broken down with this complete reading and analysis writing unit. This digital and print unit includes 18 done-for-you lesson plans, daily interactive notebook lessons, literature reference pages, 50 historical fiction literature analysis reading response examples with explanations and teaching for students, and book club resources and tools.

Each lesson is quick and easy to set up and I have done ALL the work for you. You could even leave these lesson plans for subs.

Here's what you'll get:

• Historical Fiction and Literature Unit: 18 Lesson Plans and Resources
• Daily Lesson Plan pacing guides, prep breakdown, and mentor text information
• 15 different daily lesson plan slide presentations to accompany each interactive notebook lesson.
• Digital realistic fiction reading response student notebooks
• Digital Google Slides version of student interactive notebook lessons
• Editable and digital literature reading response grading rubrics
• Book Club formation forms, resources, book suggestions, and more!
• BONUS: Starbooks book tasting resource to form book clubs

  • Sixth- Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
  • Seventh- The Call of the Wild by Jack London
  • Eighth- A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park

Not only will your students be learning and applying knowledge of literature and literary devices through daily lesson slides and interactive notebook lessons, but they will also be immediately applying their learning by writing literature text analysis responses daily.

No more, "I don't know what to write," or "I don't understand the assignment," because I have created over 50 examples of dystopian literature analysis responses and every literary device analysis reference tool for students.

Each lesson is broken down step-by-step for teachers and each example is broken down with explanations for students.

Teach two-three grades of middle school ELA? All lesson plans have unique examples for each grade level by using a different mentor text for each:

• Sixth- Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Seventh- The Call of the Wild by Jack London
• Eighth- A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park

Prep is quick and easy... Just print the student pages, gather the materials listed on the daily pacing and prep guide, display my examples, teach the lesson, and you're ready for middle schoolers who can write true dystopian literature analysis responses.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christina B. says, "I am never disappointed by Martina Cahill! Her curriculums and activities have literally helped me develop my middle school ELA classroom in more ways than one. With that being said, this resource paired perfectly with her realistic fiction units for all 3 grades. LOVE LOVE LOVE!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brianna N. says, "I love how this unit mixes read aloud mentor novels with student independent reading or book clubs. It is the perfect combination of what I am looking to do in my classroom this year. Everything is organized into easy to follow daily lesson plans. Fantastic!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lucy M. says, "I haven't used it entirely, but as a special education teacher, my plate is super full. This has helped me immensely so far. My students so far have really enjoyed using this resource! I teach SAI English for 7th and 8th grade and found a majority of it very digestible. Thanks so much!!"
