Seeing how I still haven't gotten my text book in, I have no way of talking about information that I found useful in chapter 1! Therefore...it's on to my internet research. I have only really focused on two different websites so far, and I am loving the information that I'm finding! The first website that I looked on was not the greatest, its url is http://www.teach-nology.com/teachers/child_lit/authors/, it does list about 65 authors however I just didn't find it very helpful. A few of the links that I clicked on were either not up and running yet, or they just didn't give a whole lot of information on the author.
Now the useful information; I am loving the website http://www.childrenslit.com/childrenslit/mai.html because they have so many different resources. The list of authors to choose from and get information on is incredibly long, so you are sure to find the right one for you to do your Author Profile on! This site is very easy to navigate, and everything is labeled to direct you exactly where you need to go! As you can see, I am pretty excited about this site and am pretty positive that I will find my author on there. If you are having trouble finding an author, visit this site and I am sure you will eventually find somebody that you are interested in! Good luck :)

Hello Whitney it's April and I agree with you, that website is great it has so much information. I'm sure you will find your author on this website and it does help when everything is labeled to direct you to where you need to find the right information. Good Luck with this assignment.

Hey Whitney, I haven't received my textbook either so I just used the information I had on my notes to post my thoughts on chapter 1.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that some of the websites and listing of authors are long and a little time consuming. I am interested in finding some new authors, you know, some that have published some good books but really aren't well known yet. Well best of luck to you.
