As an educator, you know your students best. As an author, I believe one of the best ways to learn is to play with the material. To save you time, I’ve created some standard classroom tools for THE SPRINGSWEET, including vocabulary lists, writing prompts and book lists.

But I also welcome you and your students to remix, rewrite, sequelize, prequelize, adapt or expand on the text*- reading and writing is what builds readers and writers!

I am always excited to participate in your classroom- and always aware of how tight a school’s budget can be. I am available for traditional school visits for a fee (reduced in Indiana,) but I’m also available for remote school visits of 30 minutes for free.

All you need is a computer with Internet access, a microphone, and a copy of the free Skype software available at www.skype.com. I have the same software and a webcam, so your students will be able to hear and see me- and ask me questions in real time, just like they would in a physical visit.
