K-6 writing programs, presentations and follow up activities/writing exercises to promote imagination, inspiration and revision process (for older grades)
Program Pricing:
Programs begin at $700 per half day program.
Price increase depending on how far I have to travel from Sudbury.
Special Features:
For younger grades, I will host a pajama party interactive reading of Noises at Night where students can wear slippers to school or p.j.s and bring in a teddy bear (related to Noises at Night story).
When Blue Ribbon Dad comes out (2011), we will do blue ribbon art project to follow.
For older grades I will do a presentation on how to take a story from inspiration to publication. I will lead various writing exercises according to the needs and scope and sequence of the school and grades I visit.
