Timeline of American Literature - Dr. Donna Campbell, Washington State University
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): literature (215)
In the Classroom
Use the author biographies as the basis for student research reports on specific authors. One creative assignment is to have students research a specific author and "create" a social media page, using an approved platform, including blog posts and references to the author's works. Students could include information about the author within their profile and even relate the author to their peers by listing a few of their "friends." A great way to get students interested in the authors and relate it to something they're very familiar with.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
