Would you recommend this program to other school districts?
Yes
Ms. Klepeis has a fascinating background and is well-rounded as an author. She was able to show students how she took an idea or "nugget" and developed that into an article or story. The topics were interesting, relevant and engaging. We were excited to have an author of non fiction.
Suggestions to artists for improvement:
I think for our younger students, less presentation style and more interaction might be helpful.
Please include any additional comments you care to make.
I enjoyed speaking with Ms. Klepeis-she was lovely!!
