| "Writers always tell
us to write about what we know or have experienced. Nancy went beyond giving this
advice to showing students exactly how she does it in her own writing. She
shared personal experiences and how those experiences influenced characters or
events in her books. She also gave our K-5 students strategies for using their
own observations or experiences when writing too. She kept her audience
engaged and participating in the presentations, and she inspired enthusiasm in our
budding authors to begin writing a book of their very own. We were very happy
to have NL Sharp visit our school!" Diane K, Wichita, KS |
One-Day Presentations for Students:
Staff Development Workshops for Teachers:
One day school
visits focus on the trait of ideas and my personal experience of
becoming a published author. I can work with large groups, small groups,
or a combination of both, and will give five-six presentations per
day. Presentations I have found to be most successful are:
Stories within Stories (Grades K-1) Big Ideas and Little Ideas (Grades 1-2)
Where Do You Get Your Ideas? (Grades 2-3) Keeping A Writer's Notebook (Grades 3-6)
The Author-Illustrator Connection (Grades 3-6) The Story Behind the Stories (Grades 4-6)
