Generating information about authors to prepare to write an information text

An information text about an author provides information about their life, e.g. childhood, inspiration, jobs and books. Atinuke is a Nigerian born author whose stories are inspired by African culture and traditional storytelling. Roald Dahl was a British author who wrote popular children’s literature containing imaginative and magical elements. Ibtihaj Muhammad is an American fencer and author who was inspired to write stories celebrating the Muslim identity. Developing a personal response to what we have read can inspire in writing our own information text.
