'Otherwise Known as Sheila The Great' written by Judy Blume. This book is a good example of realistic fiction because this is an imaginary story but chances are very high that the reader must have witnessed the similar situations sometime in life. The character of Sheila clearly represents the anxieties and feelings of a ten year old. We will do lots of fun activities in class while reading this book. I am short listing 3 expectations more would be covered in the class.Ontario Curriculum Expectations:
