Impersonation?

For grad class we had to pretend we were an author or illustrator and present to our class as if we were that person. At first I thought that it was crazy. Then we had two real authors come to speak to our class, and I thought that it was very interesting. I loved hearing about why they wrote certain things in the book and what was cut out of the book by their editors. 

For our class we research whatever author we choose and then present to our class as if we are the author. Here are some of my classmates presentations:
