Great Books Set in Medieval Times with Units to Guide Literature Circles 

Most of these books are in your library! (If can't find them, you can order them by clicking the title below.) They represent every genre! Check out two or three copies of each for your class. Let students choose their favorites and form literature groups. Give them copies of the Kids' Wings unit to guide them to find the special treasure inside each book, to develop valuable skills, to problem solve, and to help them work together as a group! They are strong in character and can reach many "unreachable" children!
