Author Studies

This winter has been a long one and because of so many snow days, our author studies have been delayed quite a bit.  Here's our story so far:

We took the time to study 4 prolific authors and discussed them at length.  Click here for more details.

After learning about these authors the children started forming opinions.  I asked them to choose their favorite author out of the ones we studied.  It was their job next to inform each other, the school, and anyone else about their author.  

They made first drafts and were given suggestions for editing.  



From there they typed out what they drafted.



The last step before turning their work into a blog post was to take a picture to match the words they typed.  The children sorted through the books to find a picture that their words described.  

I am currently organizing their words and pictures into 4 separate blog posts that will be released soon!
