Using www.amazon.com, students will look up the assigned novel title. By
reading the descriptions in the Editorial Reviews section, students will
identify the setting of the story. Then, the students will read a few reader
reviews to ascertain whether the book has been received positively.
Students will then use American Decades, World Book Encyclopedia, and
History Resource Center to research setting.
Using Contemporary Authors/Contemporary Literary Criticism, students
will research the author’s background.
Once all the information has been gathered students will (individually or,
preferably, in groups) present a pre-assigned element to the entire class
and submit it in written form to me; the written assignment will include an
annotated bibliography.
EVIDENCE OF LEARNING: How will you know the students have done this well?

Successful completion of internet searches – these will be pretty
straightforward (either you can complete the questions or not!)
