Presentation Description:
Primary Grades K-2
A colorful multi-media presentation using poetic rhyme and verse forms the foundation of a fun and memorable journey into the world of writing. Children will laugh, giggle, and most importantly, learn that writing can be fun during this well conceived presentation...which is topped off by the soon-to-be world famous Spooky Mooky Video! (Warning: Spontaneous Dancing May Ensue!) Length, 35-40 minutes.
Intermediate Grades 3-6
This exciting multimedia presentation introduces children to the world of writing by showing how a picture book is created...covering key steps such as the concept, the write, the re-write, story boarding, sketching, painting, and printing. The presentation deepens as Mr. St. Jean uses examples from his award winning Aidan of Oren trilogy to illustrate how concepts such as Good and Evil, Conflict and Resolution are necessary components of storytelling. This group session forms the foundation for optional writing workshops where students apply writing techniques learned during the group presentation. Length, 45-50 minutes. Writing workshop length, 45 minutes minimum (recommended for grades 3+. Up to two classrooms at a time).
