Introduction The list of Titles to Support Middle School Social Studies “Suggested Instruction” was developed as a resource for teachers and administrators. Historical fiction can provide a point of entry for students into time periods and events, and reinforce the natural connection to English Language Arts. Most of the entries on the list are annotated, and all include either the author or publisher. Some titles appear in more than one category. Our hope is that these resources will be valuable as you write units of study, plan your project-based assessments (culminating and exit projects), and enhance your existing classroom libraries for independent reading and research. This list is a starting point and is by no means exhaustive. We welcome your suggestions in any category as we continue to update this list of books that support Social Studies instruction. Please contact Fran Macko at with your recommendations. of Contents
