The presenter
reviewed is: Valerie Frankel | | 10 Reasons to Host Valerie Frankel
1. She's a real teacher.
Valerie Frankel is a professional teacher and tutor, who's spent ten years teaching just about every grade, from kindergarten through college. Right now, she teaches four classes of creative writing for kids each semester, and four classes of college composition at San Jose State University. She knows how to hold kids' interests, and help them value the lesson, while having lots of fun.
"I still don’t know how you have time to write, read a whole book, and deal with your classes every day. You must not watch a lot of TV. It seems like a tough job, but your book seems to be a success."
--Jacob Wellish, student
2. She's a real professional.
As a university professor, Valerie conducts herself with decorum, appearing on time with everything needed to make her presentation a success. At the same time, she's very informal and approachable, plus she loves to laugh. She's been known to wear a Sorting Hat.
"After going to the book reading, I really wished I had read the Harry Potter books because her reading made them seem very interesting. She added new characters and different stories and adventures. It’s obvious the book was written for young children because it includes a lot of humor. The children who were at the reading were laughing their heads off, and I knew that she reached her target. Because I share the same opinions as Professor Frankel regarding children and reading, I decided to purchase the book and pass it along to my younger brother."
--Elias Aseged
3. It'll get kids writing.
Valerie deals with the fun side of writing, from creativity with beloved characters to pure silliness. She inspires kids to create their own stories, no matter how frivolous the topic. She got where she is now by writing four page a day, starting her first novel at age sixteen. She also reads a novel every single day. just for fun. Children spend most of the presentation laughing | | Date Reviewed: 5/3/2007 7:24:01 PM |
