Few things are more exciting than a writing workshop unless...

...it's a book talk or a give-and-take session about 'history sleuths as storytellers.' I love interacting with students and teachers, and I work hard to make connections with local needs. Whether your school or community wants a boost for students struggling with writing portfolios - or a history sleuth session with artifacts and photos - I will enjoy the challenge. I also have a passion for literacy and offer a presentation entitled "The Object at Hand" about techniques for using historical artifacts and commonplace objects to inspire and instruct students about the writing process.
