This wiki is a sharing and reflection of lessons I have implemented at Munroe Elementary. These "Power Burst" lessons meet standards and are easily and effectively implemented. Please feel free to use these lessons and or resources in your library.

Authors Studies Before we have visiting authors at Munroe students write questions they will be asking the author about his/her writing process.

The above media comes from the fall author visit by Yuyi Morales. Students previewed the author's website as the first lesson using computers in the library.

The next two lessons were the reading of her books. The final lesson was a comparison of the books using a Venn Diagram from the "Enchanted Learning" website. Students also voted on their favorite of three books they compared and contrasted.

The website for Yuyi Morales a bilingual fiction writer is [|www.yuyimorales.com] The website for the various graphic organizers e.g., Venn Diagrams is [|www.enchantedlearning.com] This website can become school site licensed for several computers for $75.
