My presentation is geared to JK to grade six children. It can be half an hour up to forty minutes in length depending on what has been decided on in advance by the school. The library is the best place for the presentation.
The teacher-librarian and I can divide the children in an equal number of groups so that each student receives full attention.
I come for the whole day.The cost of my presentation is $350.00.
I gift one signed copy of each book to the school library.I need room to put a banner with a stand 48 inches high by 72 inches wide, a table, a chair and space for one or two A-frame signs.
I need an interactive whiteboard or an LCD projector and a laptop or computer, to display my stories which are on memory sticks while I read my books.
Presentation:
1. I introduce myself and give a little bit of personal history.
2. I read one of my books and discuss its message.
3. Children can role play using masks that represent the characters from "Dandelion".
4. There is time allotted for questions from the teachers and children.
5. This activity is optional and will need to be arranged ahead of time. The teachers take photos with their digital devices of children (who wish to participate) in an A-frame “sign” of a camel (4’x3’) or a llama (3’x2’). The children poke their face through a hole in the painting. If the teachers choose to they can then email these photos to the children’s parents.
6. I communicate with the teacher librarian and/or the teachers by email so that they can tell me what they want to include in my presentation.
Each participating classroom teacher sends home a copy of my letter of introduction and a child’s order form that is attached to this letter, two weeks ahead of my visit. I will email the PDF to the teacher librarian or designated person in charge a few weeks before the date of my presentation. Before my visit each teacher can collect the envelopes with the order forms and the exact cash from students who purchase any books and place these envelopes in a larger class envelope. I will collect the class envelopes and distribute the books.
