The children's book
discussion at the Accokeek Library, third Monday of each month unless a holiday
and then on the fourth Monday of the month, at 2:30 pm. Please see the attached bibliography.
I will be
teaching the children how to analyze literature. To help them to
understand this better, each child will write a short story but in parts each
month. So one month they will just come up with an idea for a
story. Another month they will think out a plot. Later they will
develop their characters. Eventually by May, they will have their short
story completed and will turn it in for some local authors to critique.
In June I am hoping that the authors will be available for the children so they
can answer any questions they might have. I am looking into a way to get
their stories published but don't know if I will be able to do this. We
see what can be worked out.
I think it
will be a fun and productive year. If you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to contact me via email Anne-Marie Ramsey [ramsey.annemarie@gmail.com]
Please let me know asap if your child
will be attending so I can register them and know how many there will be.
Thank you!
Anne
