Styles and Profiles

This WebQuest was designed for 4th and 5th graders as an interactive medium to teach them about various authors and their literary styles. The lessons were created and designed by the elementary school librarian.  Students worked in pairs and created a multi-media Power Point. This unit was created the 2nd nine weeks and will be built upon throughout the year.
