In this video, I’m sharing the best novels for social studies! Historical fiction and nonfiction novels are a great way to integrate history into your classroom, especially if you are given only a small amount of time to teach your social studies lessons each week. Your students will love learning more about social studies as they read these historical novels. Happy teaching!
