(a) Name: Meet the Authors and Illustrators!
** (b) Website **Link : [] ** (d) ** **Language Level**:  The language level of this particular activity will be most likely addressed, practiced and understood by students of C1 –C2 level.  ** (e) ** **Content**: The content of the activity is challenging but it is very informative and interesting. The thing that attracted me more to the activity is because it has very simple and basic structure in order to help the learners to complete the given task without any necessary help. The navigation in the particular website is very easy, and the website is also very friendly to the user. The instructions concerning the exercise are very clear and easy to follow. Firstly, they have the opportunity to view a slide show about the process of making a book including the work of the author, illustrator, editor, and others involved in creating a book. Then, they have to create promotional posters or brochures about the author because this is a part of the job of a publicist. This webquest includes a section which offers guidance to the students and it also contains links that will help the students complete the given task. Furthermore, it informs the students on how they are going to be assessed by a rubric. Although it has a great layout with nice colours that makes the reader feel comfortable but this webqusest does not have two of its main characteristics; It does not have an introduction and a conclusion. In my opinion the particular activity is appropriate to be used in a language class because the learners have the opportunity to learn all about some of the other people behind the scenes who also make books possible. In other words, it is a WebQuest which is designed for students to work independently. Furthermore, it allows to the teacher to be the facilitator in students' learning rather than the sole dispenser of knowledge
 * (c) ** ** Definition of activity ** **: **  In this webquest the learners are going to learn all about some of the other people behind the scenes who also make books possible. Basically, in this task every student will become the publicist for an author or illustrator of his/her choice. After learning about the jobs involved in publishing a book, the student will "interview" an author or illustrator by visiting his or her web site. They have to read at least three of the author or illustrator's books and create a brochure or poster with personal facts about the author or illustrator as well as information about his or her books.
