Kate Messner Google + Hangout

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at 12:00 p.m. ET on Google+ (40 minutes)

CELEBRATE the National Day on Writing with me!! It’s October 20, 2015 and from the comfort of your classroom you AND your students can celebrate by joining in on the FREE Google Hangout that New York Times notable author Kate Messner will be attending! (for students in grades 3-5) It’s an AWESOME way to expose your students to a well loved author and learn from her! Students will learn that published authors like Kate Messner have to go through the SAME process as student writers when creating a book. From brainstorming, researching, planning, drafting and editing – it’s like she’s in school all over again – it’s all the same basic process! Plus she’ll be sharing how authors, editors, copyeditors and illustrators all work together as a team to publish a book from start to finish. Students will even get the chance to ask the author live questions! How encouraging for students to learn that ANYONE can tell a story – they already have the tools in place!
