Analyzing Literary Figures: Analyzing Literature

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The author study gets an update in a research project designed for high schoolers. Scholars search for information about literary figures that connects them to their times, their works, their themes, and other writers. Researchers also gather interesting facts and contributions from their subject and record all this information on the graphic organizers. The session ends with a gallery walk of the many projects.
