Is that a true story? Readers work to gather evidence for comparing the historical and fictional text Time Trip: Sudan’s Civil War and A Long Walk to Water. Scholars identify the use of real people and experiences versus the use of fictional people and experiences based on real life. Pupils complete an exit ticket addressing how the author of A Long Walk Home altered history.
