Author Study Toolkit

Description:

An author study is a unit lesson that gives students the opportunity to delve deeply into an author's life and body of work. Students critically evaluate an author's themes, characters, and writing style while making connections between the author's work and life as well as their own experiences. The Reading Rockets Author Study Toolkit will help you create a unit tailored to your instructional goals, as well as your students' interests and abilities.
