Main Activity
Your student should complete any remaining research on their chosen author. Feel free to look for interviews of your selected author on YouTube.
Be sure to fill the chosen graphic organiser (from Lesson 1). Do not leave any section blank.
Once research is complete, using the information your student has gathered, tell them they will use that information to create a fact file. This fact file can be a poster or a leaflet.
To get an idea of what a good one looks like, please see the sample author fact file resource.
