What to investigate? 

When you research your author look out for interesting facts about their lives and all the books they have written. The questions we brain showered in class (listed below) will help you get started. Don´t worry if you can´t answer each question, just make a note of any interesting information you find. 

•  How old are they? 
• Where they were born/died?
•  Family? 
• Where do they live? 
•  How many books have they written? 
• How many years writing? 
• How old were they when they started writing? 
• Did they want to be a writer when they were a child? 
• Do they use their real name or a pseudo name? 
• What´s their signature like? 
• Inspiration? 

Remember the aim is to come up with interesting information to use to make a poster about the author. GOOD LUCK!
