[LM_NET] TAR: How to do an author study?

["Power, Amanda" <PowerA@MIDDLETOWNK12.ORG>]

This might be a really obvious or stupid question, but I want to do an author study 
with my third grade students, and was thinking of doing Patricia Pollacco. I've 
never done an author study before. I have a bunch of her books but, beyond that, 
I'm not sure how to get started on an author study, or what to do/include.  Any 
tips or ideas? What worked or didn't work? One thing I should mention is that we 
don't have access to multiple computers in my libraries, so any web research should 
be somewhat limited. Beyond that, I don't mind getting creative, as some of my 
third graders are a tough crowd in terms of getting, and keeping, attention and 
interest!
 
Thanks in advance,
