Select one noteworthy author of children?s books and/or young adult literature who has contributed a minimum of five books to the field (see list below).

Read ?

Read at least five chapter- centered books written by him/her (include picture books too if your selected author also writes in this format). Seek information about the author and his/her works such as memoirs, essays, written speeches, interviews, contributions to books and journals, and reviews of his/her work.

Write/Visualize ? The written component of this project serves as a ?Meet the Author? piece and is in line with responding to literature in a creative way. Select a nontraditional format (interview, scrapbook, diary entries, letters, newspaper, magazine, ABC book) to introduce and illumine your author, his/her life, writing processes, and work (including responses to his/her work, your own and that of reviewers) through both writing and visuals. Visuals can include one specific media (such as oil pastels ) or they can be multi-media (perhaps including photographs). Conclude the piece with a list of resources (minimum of five) and a bibliography of your author?s works. The completed project should be ten pages mimimum
