Whassup, Escobedo Middle School?!!

As part of the Vegas Valley Book Festival, I had the opportunity to visit Escobedo Middle School and spend the day with several English classes.  Props to their teachers–these kids correctly answered all my questions about plot structure!  And because I’m a professional (kids: don’t try this at home!), I made up stories on the spot about several kids in each of the classes.  It was fun!  Best of all, I taught the students a valuable life skill:  how and when to say, “Roll Tide!”  (The answer to when?  Anytime!  Anytime is Roll Tide time!)  Thanks to Mrs. Baca for introducing me to these incredible students!
