I find that students in my literature groups are eager to know what's real and what is not whenever we read historical fiction or historical fantasy! I often prepare a set of reference websites for them to read and examine w hen we are dealing with stories that occur during the Great Depression, the Gold Rush, and the Civil Rights movement or contain famous people. They e at it up! It expands their ideas about the stories, the characters (real o r imaginary) and creates interest in the past. Many of my students have g one on to have interesting connections with much older relatives who rememb er family stories or personal memories of that time. Authors that share what's true and what's made up are especially valued.
