The students have been busy at work on their author studies and should be working on the project both there in school and at home. The projects are due April 4th and we will start presentations that day.
The big question that the students are trying to answer is: How does/did the author's life influence their writing? Their projects should therefore be about their life and work, but also exhibit higher level thinking and inferring.
Their project is student choice, but here are some ideas, many borrowed from the Reading Rockets website:
Create a class book based on the students' responses to the author's work
Create a display highlighting an author's life and work
Create a magazine cover about the author, featuring his/her photograph and then headlines giving a taste of his/her books and biography
Publish a special edition
Create a video review of an author's work
Develop a timeline about the author
Dramatize a scene from one of the books
Create a literary social network
Publish a newspaper about the author
Create a comic
Write a letter to a character in one of the author's books
