A tourist map of literature
Judi, our regular Fiction Focus blogger has not been able to post recently. (Hurry up and get better Judi - we all miss you)
As guest blogger this week I’m going to share a website that was very popular with students at the school where I last taught.
Literature Map - the tourist map of literature
This simple to use website allows users to search for a favourite author and then suggests other writers who may appeal to the reader. The closer two writers are, the more likely someone will like both of them.
The CMIS website also has lots of useful information for teachers and students looking for something new to read. Check out the Focus on Fiction pages and the In the Classroom section of the website for links to:
- Author Studies
- Genre/Theme Studies
- Specific Titles & Series
- Teaching & Learning Strategies
- General Teacher Resources
The CMIS Resource Bank has a searchable database of over 5,000 fiction resources!
