When I write nonfiction history, I write story. We all love story. We all want to know about the people involved in history and how events affected them. I'd like to believe that narrative nonfiction can become a growing part of teaching history. As Jean Reynolds said, students REMEMBERED what they'd read when the stories of actual people were included. <br /><br />Andrea Warren Andrea Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652202490183459665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-22859234258455209762018-03-26T08:55:08.158-05:002018-03-26T08:55:08.158-05:00Wow!
