Fiction in the FACS Classroom

Created to facilitate incorporating reading into the FACS curriculum, A Novel Approach to FACS will make it easy for both you and your students to blend the two subject areas.  Based on twelve works of teen fiction, this extensive curriculum resource includes activities related to all FACS content areas.  Formatted to be adaptable to every FACS classroom, the activities can easily be used for an entire class or individual students.  I think you're going to find this new FACS reading curriculum a great addition to your resource collection.
