Learning About The Author

In anticipation of reading your Summer Reading Text, today, we will explore and learn more about the authors of the texts themselves.  You will use at least two webpages (wikipedia can be one of them) to learn about the authors of: The Shadow of The Wind; Salvage The Bones; The Hate You Give; The Fifth Season; and Oryx and Crake.  Specifically, you will research: the authors date, age, date of birth, birthplace, childhood, education, influences: music, homelife, schooling, values or ideas that the other writes about; the genre (type) of fiction the author writes; any awards they have won; any television or film adaptations of their novels.  You will use your information to complete the Author Biography Handouts.
