Author Studies with Ms. Terry

Pat,

I'm taking my students to the computer lab next Monday to begin constructing original book reviews. As part of their review, they must provide at least one detail related to the author. Where should I have the students complete their research?

The students were allowed to choose the novel they are writing on, so most of them chose the popular books.

Thanks for your help!
