 This week we have begun our author study on Mem Fox. An author study is "a series of lessons that develop students as critical readers through analysis of a specific author. The study is used to develop a students' understanding and proficiency of specific elements used by an author as he or she progresses through the series of lessons." (America's Choice, Mem Fox Author Study Version 3, 2003 NCEE) We have read the book, Time for Bed, and have discussed the characters, interesting language/new words, connections, wonderings, and the theme. We are asking students to explore Mem Fox's website and jot down a few facts they have learned about her to contribute to our "All About Mem Fox" chart.
