2.  Today’s journal:  What do you like or dislike about historical fiction?

3.  We read an example of historical fiction.  I printed it off www.helium.com/items/978393-short-stories-historical-fiction.  It is a story by Kerry Johnson.  It’s an example of historical fiction.  If you print the story, read it and make notes about what the author did well or what the author needs to work on as far as his writing style and the story.
