3. Description of how the technology will be used within the lesson
I will provide a list of authors that they students may research. The students will do this in pairs or small groups depending on the class size and amount of authors that need to be researched. The research will consist of both the life of the author, the written pieces, timelines, and images of the author or part of the author's life. This will be an introductory assignment leading into the planned semester readings. It will also provide the students background knowledge on the author and some of their writing.
