Are you looking for a scientist and children's novelist to come to your school? Fear not, I would be excited to come present.
My presentations are a mix between creative writing and science. In the presentation, I'll be showing off plenty of new villains to keep the students entertained. More importantly, I'll be using the descriptions of the villains to introduce environmental and scientific topics; the same topics that can be found in Common Core and elementary textbooks. I only present what is in the U.S. school system. In addition, I'll be speaking about utilizing thoughts and imagination in storytelling and art. Contact me at [email protected] |
