WW2

If you are studying World War 2 or even if you are simply interested in the time period. Why not have a look at this power point? There are lots of resources out there and it can often be hard to find good ones. I have included some of the best available from the library.

 

Do you have a favourite book, graphic novel or even moie that you think should be included? Let me know and I will add it in.

Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, often dealing with very difficult issues, it can get you into the mindset of another place and time and develop empathy and understanding.

Take care,

The Merlin Prophecy

The Merlin Prophecy

The book is a graphic novel by Meg Cabot .The main character was Ellie and her boyfriend .Ellie has just joined a new school and already has the most popular boy in the school as her boyfriend and is really popular .The twist in the story is that her boyfriend is believed the be the reincarnation of prince Arthur of Camelot that has to save the world from darkness, its her responsibility to prepare him but he doubtful about him being the reincarnation.

I liked the effect that the graphic novel had and how it showed what the characters looked like and gave you a better feel it got me hooked quicker than normal books as I found it exciting and easier to read as I didn’t have to imagine what the scenes would look like .I thought the pictures were tremendous and really captured the characters personalities.

 

I also really liked the story. It was gripping and once I started reading I didn’t want to put the book down. Despite the story of the high school and her being the new girl it also had the story about Prince Arthur. It was rather like two stories in the one. I sympathized with the 2 main characters and felt anger towards the other jealous characters. Reading this book was over all an enjoyable experience.
