Author studies

Hi there,
The length of time my author / genre studies last depends upon the author and student interest. As they read books by the author, I designed a form to record the titles read. They learn about their life, awards| and what influenced him/her to become an author. At the end of the study, they choose their favorite book, and draw a scene from it using the illustrator's style and medium. They add a literature reaction to the picture and these get hung around the author's photo and information. We choose four of our favorite books to compare and contrast on a huge piece of butcher paper. Each | |
quarter/semester, we compare/contrast different authors. Doing author/genre studies allows the opportunity to explore varied writing styles, to easily tie to your writing mini lessons...If you want info on the categories or additional information, please post or email. ;-D
