It might not be such a good idea to cite a piece of literature but one of my eighth grade advisees was recently praised on her report card for the way her vast [fiction] reading experience informed and enhanced her study of American history. Many, many children learn through story. The facts, when they come to them in textbooks or in work with original source material, are corroboration for the story in their heads.
