| Abstract: |
Teachers are tasked with motivating students in a variety of ways. One skill they constantly reinforce in students is reading and writing for a variety of purposes. We want students to be able to read and understand a variety of genres, as well as communicate with other people in different forms. Author Web sites offer a place for students to learn about published authors. Connecting with authors often motivates students to do more reading and writing. In this course, you will learn about author studies and how they can be enhanced by the use of Internet resources. |
