Seven Brave Women by Betsy Hearne (Historical Fiction & Chapter)

"History should be her story too.." The seven brave women in this story were talked about through their granddaughter. She wanted to pass the history of her grandmothers down to the next generation, and show how these women were brave even though they never fought in the wars that were taking place during their time of living. These women where brave women because of the things they endured. The granddaughter ended the story stating that she wasn't a women yet, but she was going to make history just like her grandmothers. 

Before I read this book, I would show the student's the pictures and have them make analyze the pictures, make inferences, and predictions on what was going to happen next for each page; this is to help develop these skills when they're on their own reading a text. This would also be a fun way to help students understand the use of illustrations and how they can be used in various ways when reading.
