| Yellow cards were provided for each writing activity at the Santa Barbara Author-Go-Round |
At the
Santa Barbara Author-Go-Round in January, students spent the morning with four authors-- Kristen Kittscher, Lee Wardlaw, Eugene Yeltsin, and me. Before the program began the students could do four short writing activities, each based on one of the author’s books. Then at the end of the morning, students who wrote the most creative piece in each category received a prize of an autographed book by the author. We were impressed with their creative imaginations. Here are the four activities they did.
Create a
Mixed-Up Animal (Based on
The Terrible Hodag and the Animal Catchers by Caroline Arnold).
Describe a place you might go to
Solve a Mystery (inspired by Kristen Kittscher’s book
Tiara on the Terrace),
Invent a Wacky Disease (inspired by Lee Wardlaw’s “
101 Ways to Bug...” series.)
Create a setting for a story in
Another Country (inspired by Eugene Yeltsin’s book
The Haunting of Falcon House.)
