MIDDLE: Literature/Author activities

[Shayne Russell <shayner@DIRECTVINTERNET.COM>]

Happy Holidays, everybody.  In January, I will be doing a workshop to
introduce teachers to our school's EBSCO Novelist subscription as
well as other online resources where they can find information on
children's authors and children's literature.  I'd like to be able to
share ideas for successful activities that incorporate online
literature/author resources.  I will be working with teachers of
grades 4 through 8.  Anyone have any ideas to share that have worked
well for you?  Maybe creative ideas for author studies or ways to
help kids with book selection?...  If you have a favorite online
resource, feel free to share that too, although my main interest
right now is ideas for lessons and activities using those online
resources.  I'll be happy to post a hit if there's interest.
