Students grabbed their trays as quickly as possible today & they giggled all the way back to the classroom. We had lunch with Dav Pilkey & Jeff Kinney! They are authors of our 2 favorite book series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid & Captain Underpants. The authors were interviewed about their strategy for writing a great story, then they jumped right in and started to draw and write! It was highly motivating to see 2 people that the students respect so much do what they do best. Following the webcast, students had copies of their story starters. Our job was to finish the story that the 2 authors started. You could have heard a pin drop! Below are my hard working kids showing off their creative writing and drawing.
