Good morning everyone!
The 8th grade LA teachers came to me yesterday with a request. They are
starting a new unit on narrative non-fiction and would like a list of books.
At first I thought of The Port Chicago 50 and Left for Dead, but they
mentioned it needs to have strong characters. They mentioned the book A
Long Walk to Water, but that is not classified as NF, although it is based
on a true story. They also mentioned Night by Elie Wiesel, which is a
memoir, and they just finished a unit on memoirs.
So, any ideas? Either NF books with strong narrative characters or fiction
based on true stories with main characters?
Thanks in advance!
