On March 18th I conducted my first author presentation workshop at the school I teach at. My theme/analogy was "Pizza Story: How to Write a Delicious Story." I made slides, showed some of the books and articles I'd written, held drawings for some of my books/magazines, served Costco Pizza, and had the kids plan a story using a graphic organizer. Leading up to this I was pretty nervous and spent hours on my slides and getting everything just right.
Some things I hope to change:
1. Make it more interactive: getting up or doing things together so I don't talk most of the time.
2. Make sure I have enough pencils for everyone. (I ran out.)
All in all, I felt it went well, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Perhaps I can do this presentation again at another school sometime. Any presentation tips you'd like to share? Let me know in the comments! Enjoy the slide show.
