Interactive Author Posters & Google Slides Pack!

In this pack…

Your students will get to know 20 different authors. Each poster includes a colorful picture, a scannable QR code (or a link if using the Google Slides Version), and several questions to guide student learning. All answers to the questions can be found by scanning the QR code (or clicking the link) and reading about the authors on each of their websites. The QR code (or link) links to each author’s “About Me” page where most of the information can be found, but students are free to browse through each of the entire websites for book summaries, images, and so much more.

What I plan on doing with this resource:

In an attempt to make my classroom more interactive, I plan on spotlighting an author every week or two. The goal of this is to expose students to different authors while helping them learn more about the people who read the books they love. This will be an assignment for early finishers, or could be used as a reading center.

What else is included?

•Generic worksheet for students to complete as they learn about each author (since each author has different questions, these are very simple and can be fitted for each author

•Answer key for all 20 authors

•Book recommendation sheets for students to fill out for each author
