This five-day lesson plan will introduce the young scholars to the author of the novel as the beginning of a unit. The students will conduct research to obtain biographical information about the author and read/analyze summaries and critiques of the author's writing. Finally, the young scholars will create brochures or flyers to highlight the author as a guest at a mock author's conference.
