Author Studies…
Whatever you know about a writer-background, special training, previous works, outlook on life, personal ideologies-often will help you understand the literature you are reading. Through out the semester you will complete an author study for each piece of literature we read. Your author study should include the following biographical information:
Date of birth, parents, spouse and children, schooling, careers, achievements, idiosyncrasies, most notable literature, focus for writing, and interesting facts about their life.
Use google image file to copy and paste a picture of the author, we are currently studying, onto your mini bio.
