School Visits
The Story Bakery
60 minutes
Presentation Description:
I start the presentation by reading the first chapter of BERNICE BUTTMAN, MODEL CITIZEN.
Next, I lead students in a gameshow type quiz exploring some of the quirky figurative language in the book.
Then, I teach a lesson about how writing a story is like baking a pie (Just like Bernice does in my book!)
We will cover plot, characters, story arc and more.
Lastly, I will answer questions.
*Please no more than one grade level per presentation. If you would like more than one grade level present then consider booking a second session
AV and Tech Needs:
I can go high tech (microphone and projector) or low tech (just a chart paper and some markers!) Just let me know which you prefer.
Honorarium:
Due to the fact that I am now a full-time teacher again, I only have a limited number of dates in which to do school visits.
Full-Day engagement (within 30-60 minutes from my home) and up to THREE presentations: $1,000
For locations greater than 50 miles, travel/lodging expenses will be added to basic fee.

Skype Session
I am unable to do Skype Sessions with classrooms at this time. I'm sorry!
All visits are appropriate for 3rd-8th grade classrooms. Please contact me directly for availability.
