A Story-A Story (Gr. 1-3)
Author Visit Program

Learn how to apply the six traits of writing
from an author who uses them everyday.

No matter what kind of story you are writing - fiction or nonfiction - you begin with the first trait of writing: ideas.

As you think over your ideas, you need to know the 6 W's:

Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?
How? (The W is at the end!)

I use these 6 W's to guide me as I research my fiction and nonfiction books.

For the A Story/A Story program I show examples of my research for the Jake Maddox sports novel, Skate Park Challenge, and I read excerpts from my nonfiction book, The History of Football. The program ends with questions and answers.

I will sign books during lunch and at the end of the day.

A Story-A Story is a 45 minute program.
