Book an author visit to your school
This year I will be scheduling visits to schools. I am able to speak to large diverse groups and all grade levels. I am also speaking to teachers about using CreateSpace in the classroom.
What's An Author Visit?
For the youngest children I can read a picture book and lead an activity such as drawing a picture or making a puppet to go along with the story.
Elementary grades have the option of a reading and activity or a presentation on the book writing process.
Middle grades and High School have the option of the book writing process, the process of writing various types of works, such as an essay or report, or the publishing process.
I have a one hour (55 minute class period) presentation for teachers, offering either teaching the writing process, or using CreateSpace in the classroom
I use Power Point to show slides and I have samples of my own materials for children to see. I have created handouts for teachers to use in their classrooms to build on the foundation laid by the author visit. I also use the Core Curriculum Standards and have highlighted the targets addressed in these presentations.
Books will be available for signing, but preorders are appreciated.
I am a certified teacher, working in both Texas and Alaska. I've been writing most of my life.
For the moment, I can only offer visits to schools in Central Texas. I'm willing to travel to Arizona, where my books are set, for travel expenses as well as an honorarium.
