Lesson Plan for June 17

Each student will be given a list of famous authors to choose from. Once they have chosen their author, they are to research him/her. Finding the following information, create a trading card using BigHugeLabs.com. Include a picture as well. When you have finished your Famous Author Trading Cards, you will present what you have learned about your assigned author.

Find all of this information:
~Your author's full name (Did they use another name other than the one they were born with)
~When were they born and when did they die?
~Where were they born?
~Did he/she marry?
~Did he/she have children?
~What was the author's top 5 works? (If they had that many)
~When was he/she first published?
