you. These sites will introduce you to the following "Awesome Authors":
Your navigating will take
you into the following quadrants of each author's life.
Your task will be to navigate
through an assigned author's life. As a group you will learn about the
author's life, his works, influence of author's life on his work, and types
of writing he did. At the end of your navigating and
research the members of each group will combine all the information gathered

As you read the articles about these authors look for the following and record your findings on the worksheet which has been provided for you. Click on "activity sheet" to print the sheet.

of their two authors on the venn diagram which is provided for you. Click
