Author's Week-Second Week of July

"Author's Week is celebrated in the 2nd week of July and other times of the year! Lessons that explore the challenges, achievements, and lives of some of the most influential authors in history.  Dramatizing life stories provides students with an engaging way to become more critical readers and researchers. Students select American authors to research, create timelines and bio poems, and then collaborate on teams to design and perform a panel presentation in which they role-play as their authors. The final project requires each student to synthesize information about his or her author in an essay."
