Getting up at crack 'o' dawn 5am to get to Peoria, Illinois before 10am shows real commitment to my profession. My partner in crime Linda Sawyer, from Saint Xavier School in Wilmette, and I were asked to present on the topic of organizing libraries in different ways, hot topic genrefication, making manipulatives for library use, and engaging and empowering our readers in different ways. Here's a link to the presentation.
We were scheduled to present during the same hour as the one and only Katherine Applegate author of One and Only Ivan and most recently Crenshaw. We were absolutely certain no one would want to come to our session because, come on, Katherine Applegate is in the building.
We did attract 25-30 attendees, a picture of our wonderful audience is below.
