Context: This was done in Children's Literature
to demonstrate the use of technology and to do an in depth study of an
author. This type of activity encourages student's interest in different
authors. It also encourages them to pursue further readings of same author or
similar books from other authors. This is an example of using various ways of
using technology to demonstrate the students knowledge. Author studies is also a
way for students to compare and contrast authors and other books that the
students show interest in.
This is also a good way to show authors purpose and connections, to enable
the student to look more in depth into various literature and genres. My
students use computers to write
stories, write reports and reviews on books or stories they have read. They use
the computer to publish their writings. The author study modeled an alternative
approach. My students enjoyed discovering new creative techniques, involving
the computer. This allowed them another means to portray their works and
acquired knowledge.
