For literature circles or book clubs reading historical fiction, here are eight individual pages of handouts for students to use as they read. These pages are very engaging and students ask, "Can we do this again?" These are similar in concept to literature circle handouts though not as lengthy. They would be great with guided reading as well. The responses are generic and lend themselves to most HISTORICAL FICTION novels: - tracing a character's actions from a historical viewpoint, - evaluating actions and decisions, - noting imagery, cause/effect, problem/solution, - vocabulary and figurative language analysis, and more. I include a formatted page without titles so you may add response prompts of your own. Also included are pages for extended independent historical fiction reading: Book Buddy forms, journal response book marks, and a short two page book report form designed to post for others to read. I include a puzzle page for early finishers. The Common Core State Standards ELA 6,7,8 RL and RI that are addressed with the individual prompts are indicated for your reference on the file. Please see the Preview for samples of two pages.

Book Synopsis "A fascinating literary and historical document, the most insightful look at the Beat Generation." --Dan Wakefield, author of New York in the Fifties and Going All the WayFirst published in 1978, Jack's Book gives us an intimate look into the life and times of the "King of the Beats." Through the words of the close friends, lovers, artists, and drinking buddies who survived him, writers Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee recount Jack Kerouac's story, from his childhood in Lowell, Massachusetts, to his tragic end in Florida at the age of forty-seven. Including anecdotes from an eclectic list of well-known figures such as Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Gore Vidal, as well as Kerouac's ordinary acquaintances, this groundbreaking oral biography--the first of its kind--presents us with a remarkably insightful portrait of an American legend and the spirit of a generation. Review Quotes "Jack's Book is first rate...it offers the flavor and depth of good fiction while keeping well within the realm of literal truth." "I suggest you read Jack's Book...Mr. Gifford and Mr. Lee seem to have interviewed everyone connected with Kerouac." -- Vincent Canby "The greatest value of Jack's Book...lies in the richness and depth...it is dynamic, mixing exceptionally well-written biography with oral journalism...it adds richness and depth to the previous portraits." "A fascinating literary and historical document, the most insightful look at the beat generation." -- Dan Wakefield "There have been biographies of Kerouac, but this is an entirely different and much more satisfying work...not a static portrait, but a slow-moving picture of a man unfolding from childhood to heartbreak end; a drama whose focus or clarity or completeness changes depending on who's holding the camera. An engrossing tale." "A very immediate, crisp addition to the Kerouac papers--lively in its interspliced rhythms and...compelling." "If you're interested in listening to what the talk of the Fifties sounded like, and if you believe that literature may just have something to do with life, then read this book." "My God, it's just like Rashomon. Everybody lies and the truth comes out." -- Allen Ginsberg "To read Jack's Book is to be present at a gathering of Kerouac's friends, colleagues, lovers, even his...enemies--of all the lives of Kerouac I have read, this one has the most life." -- James Campbell "I consider Jack's Book an essential text--it gives a far more authentic and balanced picture of Jack than any existing biography." -- Joyce Johnson About the Author Barry Gifford is a poet, novelist, screenwriter, and librettist best known for the novel Wild at Heart, which was adapted into an award-winning film by David Lynch, and for cowriting the screenplay for Lynch's film Lost Highway.

Strange, but true! In the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit is an isolated secure display containing a single test tube. The test tube holds Thomas Alva Edison's last breath. In this fact-based historical and humorous play a small community theater company gathers to do a reading, argue among themselves, and learn a little history. In the reading, Thomas Alva Edison and Henry Ford meet in a tavern in New York City and discuss inventions, Modern Man, and the possibility of life after death. What follows in this fast-paced reading is a startling discovery made by drinking buddies in the same tavern one hundred years after Edison and Ford's visit, ...and the meaning behind 888. The fictional tavern has a real life counterpart in Hell's Kitchen, NYC.
