Using Historical Fiction in Your Homeschool - War Horse

Tweet

Every story and every event has more than one side. This language arts and social studies program for War Horse from Scholastic provides lessons and printables to help your students look at history through the lens of historical fiction.  It's suitable curriculum for grades 8 - 12.

The young adult novel, War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo, was first published in 1982.

In our homeschool, we always find that after having read and doing lessons with text material, if there is a movie or TV show that accurately portrays what we've learned about, it's a fun break from more reading and reinforces what we've learned.

So when we're finished with these Scholastic lessons, we're going to go see DreamWorks Pictures’ WAR HORSE opening in theatres this Christmas (if you want to see some pictures from the Red Carpet event check out my kitchen partner from BlogEats, Liz - A Nut in a Nutshell's blog who attended!)

Let me know if you end up using these resources in your homeschool!
