School Visits 2022..Discover Your World with Visual Learning

Visual Learning Strategies Are So Much Fun as you Discover Your World!

I  introduce, demonstrate, and have students practice Visual Learning Strategies. Inspired by the three question visual thinking strategies protocol,  I will  show that this discussion-based teaching and learning strategy not only includes all four domains of language learning, but is an effective tool across the curriculum.

During the VLS workshop I introduce my nonfiction illustrated books, exploring global cultures through the lens of human commonalities — walls, immigrant stories, traditions for welcoming babies, and the daily life of children .

I will present up to four one hour workshops per day. Workshops are limited to 30 students or one class.

School fees are negotiable:

Within Maine

within 60 miles of  Waterville— $800/day
more than 60 miles from  Waterville — $800/day plus travel and lodging

New England

outside of Maine — $1,000/day plus travel and lodging

Beyond New England

$1,000/day plus travel and lodging

IMG_0490Thank you to the students and staff at the Berlin Brandenburg International School for a wonderful day on December 1st.  The 2nd-5th graders and I talked and asked questions about: walls, welcoming ceremonies,heroes, the editing process, anniversaries, teasing, architects, memorials, research, new ideas and inspirations.  The school asked me to sign their piece of the Berlin Wall.
