On Wednesday, October 16th, students in 1st through 5th grades met nonfiction author Sally Walker! Her presentations were focused around writing tips and the research process. She also told us some great stories, and shared some background about her books.
I really love Sally's books. She makes topics in history and science especially interesting. She explained that to write a book about a nonfiction topic, it's important to do some research--which means going to library! She also said that another great source of information is finding an expert you can interview. Sally told us that even though it can make you feel a little nervous, talking to an expert about a subject you want to write about can be extremely valuable. What great advice!
