Author_Studies_Using_Websites

Author Studies Using Websites I began the assignment by clicking on Resources for K-12 Teacher’s Literature on the resources for Teachers web page. After browsing through a couple of sights, the Children’s Literature Web Guide seemed to have a few useful links. Here I found Bantam Doubleday Dell Teacher’s Center most helpful. I also browsed through the Children’s Literature Association of Utah web site. It too had many useful links like the Newbery Medal Home Page, Caldecott Medal Home Page, Reading Corner, Book Lists of Children’s Literature, 101 Out of this World books for Kids Ages 8 – 13, Amazon Books, and Powell’s Books. Many of these sights listed the age level and a short synopsis of the book. Looking at the Do’s and Don’ts site found on the first web page, I discovered Jim Trelease’s Book Lists. It had many of the above sites plus more useful information. Finally, the Doucette Index - K-12 Literarture Based Teaching Index was very useful in finding out more information about a particular book. I chose the books for my book list in a variety of ways.
