Realistic Fiction

Realistic fiction, what a great tool that can be used in the classroom. I would use this topic with my students to role play different issue that they may face in their life. For instance bullying, what a great technique to give my students some actual ways to stop bullying, prevent it or just help someone that is being bullied. I can help my students with the actual decision making moral issues and the process they while taking a in-depth look.

When I use a realistic fiction story in my classroom I will try to tap my students empathy. I feel this is a valuable life lesson that can be learned through realistic fiction. I can use this in writing essays to draw out my students emotions. Starting with a four corner brain storm and continue the writing process for them to create their own realistic fiction story.
