Author Study

What is an author study?

An author study provides you with the opportunity to delve deeply into a young adult author’s life and body of work as you explore themes, characters, and writing style, and make personal connections between your own experiences and those of the author.

How will you learn about your author?

• Read or listen to a sampling of your author’s works
• Read a biography about your author
• Research the life and work of the author using SVS Library resources and NoodleTools

What will be the culminating project?

Summative assessment worth 30 points: 5-minute slide presentation, including notes and a works cited page (submitted separately)
