This morning I visited first grade students at St. Richard's Episcopal School. The students have been creating their own books to sell in their own bookstore tomorrow, 7th March 2013. Good luck with your sale boys and girls! What an exciting and stimulating project.
I took students through the life of an author, how to structure a story, good writing tips, and the publishing process. The students worked in pairs to create a framework for a story that they will complete in the classroom. They came up with some exciting and creative ideas for their stories, and were passionate about the challenge. The workshop wrapped up with lots of great questions from young, inquisitive minds. It was so good to see children excited about reading and writing!
Many thanks to Ms. Williams and Ms. Ritter for inviting me to wonderful St. Richard's.
