History Gets Personal: Historical Fiction Mapped to the Curriculum
Come learn about a new resource created for use with the New NC Essential Standards Curriculum and SCOS Curriculum. Librarians, Social Studies / History Teachers, Language Arts Teachers, and Students in NC High Schools can benefit. This resource could also be useful for Middle Schools to a limited degree. Access to this paper, presentation guide, and video summary will be provided.
Contact: wkeithb@alumni.unc.edu
Abstract: “Historical fiction, integrated into the teaching of history, has many benefits for student learning. Through study of informational texts, students learn the what and when of history, but it is the emotional connection created through reading fiction – identification with people from other cultures and times – that often fosters empathy and increased engagement in the learning process. History becomes personal with historical fiction. This paper maps recent, high quality, young adult historical fiction books to the twentieth-century American history North Carolina eleventh grade curriculum. An Annotated Bibliography of historical fiction books is provided followed by a table in the Appendix, which includes many more books, all of which can be exceedingly useful to Content Area Teachers, School Librarians, and students. The applicable North Carolina Essential Standards and Standard Course of Study standards are included with historic period, major event or subject, bibliographic information, and a brief synopsis for each book.”

Lucy as the Media Specialist and AP US History Teacher: my year of dual roles, and what I learned.
Join Mary as she highlights her year serving as both the LMS (as the Lucy of the Library) and her bell of teaching AP US History during 2011-2012, the lessons she learned, and the technology she used daily that proved most beneficial to her as a classroom teacher: Edmodo, Dropbox, Hippocampus, Amazon mp3 Cloud, and other tech tools she could not live without while being in the classroom. Mary is going to focus not on the library, but how she walked the talk and used the tech she has preached about for years. Mary gained a new perspective on what we, as LMSs, ask our teachers to incorporate into their busy lives.
