SCHOOL VISITS
Presentations vary by age of the students, but focus on the adventure of reading, creativity, research, revision, story and writing elements. These sessions are interactive and engaging, and Jen is able to adjust her programs to meet the specific need of your school or library. Jen also does interactive drawing demos and exercises with the kids.
Presentations by Grade Level:
K/1st: 25-30 minutes of story time, how a book is created, drawing activities and Q & A.
2/3rd: 35-45 minutes of what makes a story, book creation, basic revision, drawing demo, and Q & A.
4/5/6th: 45-50 minutes interactive presentation on book creation from idea to finished product, research, editing and revision, writing and drawing tips, and Q & A.
For older students, writing or drawing workshops are available on a variety of topics: brainstorming, revision, using mentor texts, composition, etc.
While Jen can do large group presentations, she highly recommends they are limited to one or two grades at a time - it is easier to keep the kids engaged when the information is targeted to their level. Typically meeting with a single class at a time is the most rewarding for the kids!
Virtual Visits:
Cost: $200 per session. $700 for a full-day of 3 sessions, virtual lunch with a small group, and a virtual book signing.
