Students will mix literature discussion groups and formulate questions involving the authors. Students will be provided inter-mitten research and discussion periods in which students plan the next day s research and how what they found effects their thoughts on the author. Students prepare and present group author study projects. Students use information discovered about their authors to create and share Power Point Presentations. As the culminating activity, students create group Power Point Presentations sharing the author information they have discovered.
Students share the presentations with their peers.
Below are critical thinking questions for students to consider as they research and explore. Many writers have a pen name they use for writing. Discover other books written by the author. Explain why they interest you. Often as authors, people write about experiences or tie parts of their lives to their books.
