Monsters and Water Beasts: Fact or Fancy?

I confess. The presentation is fun, but I have “hidden” goals. I want to teach the children while entertaining them. So, for you fellow teachers, here are the underlying objectives for my programs:

(Critical thinking)  How to make informed decisions/choices when faced with opposing data.

(Writing skills) A model, then co-operative session that builds persuasive writing skills.

(Vocabulary) A presentation that employs word origins to recreate the monsters in the book and new, never-seen-before creatures. 

for Teacher in-service and PTO/PTA’s 
Book talks for the best of ‘What’s New in Children’s Books and Books-Not-to-be-Forgotten.’

Presentation of the writing process: From idea to published work

For teacher in-service

Using Monsters and Water Beasts and other non-fiction as models, a workshop showing how to develop critical thinking, research skills and expository and persuasive  writing. 

 
The first ten schools that book one of my programs will get a free, autographed  Monsters and Water Beasts to add to the school library.
