World War II Historical Fiction List * World History * U.S. History * AP*
By Christa Nonnemaker
World War II fiction novels offer high school teachers a powerful tool for engaging students in historical learning. These novels provide immersive experiences that transport readers into the tumultuous era of the 1940s, allowing them to witness the human experience amidst the chaos of war. Through compelling characters and gripping narratives, students can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the conflict, including its causes, consequences, and the diverse perspectives of those involved. Moreover, reading World War II fiction encourages critical thinking and empathy as students explore themes of resilience, sacrifice, and the impact of war on individuals and societies. By delving into these narratives, students not only enhance their historical knowledge but also develop important skills in analysis, interpretation, and perspective-taking, making World War II fiction an invaluable addition to any high school curriculum.
This list is by no means exhaustive but it contains newer as well as classic titles, many of which have been made into movies. Share this list with students for reading suggestions over the break or during the school year for book reports or other assignments. Or use for a student book club or even your own book club! World War II historical fiction is quite popular right now!!!
I admit that my own historical fiction novel, Hearts at War, is on the list! I wrote this novel with the high school student in mind, in order to delve deeper into life on the home front for those coming-of-age. The story centers around a Japanese-American boy and a Caucasian girl who grow up in Southern California and then follows how their lives diverge once Pearl Harbor is attacked. Students might be surprised to learn that Japanese-American Nisei served as secret translators in the Pacific theater of war during World War II. I wanted that piece of history to come to light which has been hidden for far too long.

French Beginner Level Review Challenge Cards Bundle
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
Engage and challenge your beginner level French students when reviewing major French grammar topics with 20 sets of challenge review cards. Take a look at the preview to see ways that you can use these grammar challenge cards in your French classroom. This bundle saves you 20%.
Click here for my intermediate level bundle.
Click here for my advanced level bundle.
Each set of challenge review cards includes:
Challenge review cards are my "go to" resource for every single grammar topic that I teach, from beginner to advanced levels. There's something about changing up the routine from boring desk work that is very motivating to students. They appreciate working with partners or small groups, and YOU will really love hearing them practice all of the grammar they've been learning while SPEAKING French.
You will be able to pull out these sets of cards again and again, year after year, as you teach and reteach basic grammar concepts. It's never a bad idea to pull out a random stack even with your more advanced students to give them a solid review of certain things they may have forgotten.
These challenge cards can easily carry you through your whole career as a French teacher, and they'll save you so much time. If you like to print and have hard copies for your students to hold, I recommend laminating them and hooking them together with a ring.
I have baskets of these cards ready to pull out and go at the drop of a hat. When you give students the answer keys they can easily work independently. How about never needing to prepare for a sub on days when you can't be there?
Teacher Testimonial:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I offer these right now as a "daily challenge" activity. Not all of my students have verb conjugation skills, but this contest type activity gets them engaged and interested in making an attempt and slowly, over time, I see that they are putting the pieces together on what they are actually doing. These cards are beautiful and I laminated them and will find many ways to use them in the future.”
