You can learn about a focus author through this author study activity.
Students use their research skills to locate information about a focus author of their choice, exploring their history and finding interesting facts. Students also identify common language and story features from that author’s texts, and in differentiated versions of the activity, they must make connections between these features and the author’s background.
