Author's Week is celebrated in the second week of July!

Lessons that explore the challenges, achievements, and lives of some of the most influential authors in history are listed below. Dramatizing life stories provides students with an engaging way to become more critical readers and researchers. Students select American authors to research, create timelines and bio poems, and then collaborate in teams to design and perform a presentation in which they role-play their authors. The final project requires each student to synthesize information about his or her author in an essay or other project.
