During the program the performer discussed the differences between writing for the stage and writing for the page. He stressed the importance of structure and he told the students where he got his inspiration for his stories.

Afterwards, the students returned to their classrooms to write stories for the performer. During the writing process the performer stopped in classrooms to answer questions and help with the writing. The day culminated with an afternoon assembly in which the students were recognized for their fine work as selected stories were acted out by the performer. The students' original stories came to life through mime!

Young Authors Day was a fascinating educational experience designed to stimulate the imagination in all of us! The students truly enjoyed the day.
