This is without any revision or editing. <BR/><BR/>As for the workshop, I've created a powerpoint presentation during which give tips and examples. <BR/><BR/>This is followed by a one-page worksheet with step-by-step instructions and 15-20 minutes of writing time. I collect the papers and read as many as I can aloud, giving feedback and pointing out what I liked (participants LOVE this time). <BR/><BR/>I've done this workshop with groups of fifth graders all the way to adults, and it's one of my most successful presentations because it's not about me -- it's about them creating and writing and experiencing the power of the imagination. I love it.Mitali Perkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16081024119047826077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12388307.post-55616461500748200632008-03-08T09:29:00.000-05:002008-03-08T09:29:00.000-05:00how do you present?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12388307.post-30390045441230784152008-03-08T02:24:00.000-05:002008-03-08T02:24:00.000-05:00WHOA.<BR/>They really, REALLY write well.TadMackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
