Program Description

Daryl's Author Visits program "A Writer's Journey" is an amazing mix of music, storytelling and graphics all weaved together to teach children about the creative writing process. Daryl combines music and graphics to teach kids how to collect detail. He uses storytelling and graphics to teach them about using small moments and creating conflict. Daryl will take the kids on a journey that is so much fun, that the kids won't realize until it's over, that the whole assembly was one giant writing class.

This interactive education assembly is tailored to each grade level attending and the time in which he has to present it.

New this year for Grades 4-8 is a live performance from Daryl's award winning children's novel Baseball, Bullies & Angels (Chapter 10, Diplomacy).

During a 60 minute programs, Daryl shares topics like:
•The use of small moments
•Discovering good ideas
•The importance of words
•Editing and revisions
•Creating conflict
•Correctly bringing the conflict and the solution together
