Due on April 30 is our author research project, an author brochure.  This is a homework project.

Today, the students and I went over the assignment, its specifications and guidelines.  I'm attaching the rubric here.  Students will be bringing home paper for the assignment and their research handout.

The students are welcome to create a MS Word or Publisher brochure, although they (students, not mom or dad) should be doing the work on the brochure.  (All students are capable of typing their own work!)  Parents, they have already been introduced to brochure creation with Ms. Marco.  She's also been working with them on keyboarding.

This project has been a favorite over the last few years and we've learned an incredible amount of information about our favorite authors.  I recommended that students consider themselves the author's publicist and focus on how to best advertise this person.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
