Some great researching and thinking was done in our Author Study Unit that we finished last week. In class we learned and noticed things that Chris Van Allsburg does as an author and in groups we looked closely at Cynthia Rylant, Tomie de Paola, Margaret Mahy and Gail Gibbons.
We decided to share our new learning and noticings about these authors in our group Author Study VoiceThreads below. Have a listen – they’re very informative!
Please leave us a comment on the actual VoiceThread if you would like to. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Hello Grade 3s!
I couldn’t, for some reason, leave a comment on your actual voicethread, so I will leave my comment here. I really enjoyed listening to each of you talk so eloquently about your authors. There are so many authors out there–how did you decide which ones to look at? Do you know who my favorite author of kids books is? Robert Munsch! I even got to meet him when I was a little older than you are now. Although he doesn’t do his own illustrations, he certainly has a very strong writing style. One of my favorites of his is called Millicent in the Wind.
I liked hearing my own voice and my friends.
