Writer's Talks

2-3 minutes to make a point about a writer or illustrator
Could be from an author or illustrator’s website
You could focus on:
Where the author gets ideas
Something that influenced the writer’s work
Advice on how to get started
Suggestions for revising and editing
Insight about the books or illustrations

For example:  “When Faith Ringgold was a little girl, her father used to take a mattress up to the roof and the family would have a picnic, play cards, and look at the sky. The tar floor of the roof was the “beach,” and that inspired Tar Beach.” Guiding Readers and writers 3- 6, Fountas and Pinnell
