So many interesting things happened last week!
We were thrilled to host local author, Lisa Martin, to 3rd grade today!
She shared many experiences with us about creating characters,
researching information, writing and publishing a book. What a pleasure
to have an author read to us from her own published story! We'll begin
reading
Anton and Cecil, Cats at Sea as a read aloud book very soon!
Lisa worked on this book with her Aunt! What a special way to write a
book. They shared ideas by email and Skype, since Lisa's Aunt actually
lives in New York.
Lisa's characters, Anton and Cecil, are based on her own cats, TJ and
Albert. We can all get ideas for writing from special things in our
lives.
Stories aren't very interesting unless there is a problem! Lisa talked to us about how to develop a problem in a story.
Lisa Martin's book will be on sale at
Over The Moon Bookstore in Crozet
