One of the highlights for me at NCTE is meeting all my favorite authors. Every one I meet is generous and kind. I love sharing stories of how my students connect to their books. The authors feel so proud when you talk to them about their books. They also reflect right back to me and appreciate the work I do in the classroom.
I can’t wait to share this video with my students. Some of them wrote letters that I delivered to their favorite author. Kate DiCamillo has already written back.
Making connections to authors enriches the experience of reading. Students learn that there is a real person behind the words. They realize the importance of writing. They aspire to be authors themselves.
If you are writing about digital literacy, please link up your blog post. Thanks.
I love that you took letters with you- such an authentic way in which to connect your kids to the authors they love. Love the presentation format, too. What is it?
Animoto, my favorite for videos.
Margaret, it is wonderful to see how you make the most of your time and experience at NCTE to connect with authors and share a passion for reading. Thank you for the work that you do!
Thanks for stopping in. NCTE was a wonderful experience. I’m glad I got to meet you.
