| ELAINE SCOTT
Ms. Scott has access to Skype.
Please
have the students prepare in advance a list of questions for her
to answer. She will first give a brief presentation, perhaps showing
her latest book or talking about an upcoming project, and will
then take questions. If you prefer, the Q&A can come first,
depending on your students' needs. How you handle the Q&A
is up to you. Sometimes students come up to the screen individually
to ask questions and then the next student comes up. Sometimes
the students gather around the screen to ask questions. The format
will depend on your needs and what kind of equipment you have.
If you have an activboard or some other means to project the images
onto a larger screen, for example, the format might be somewhat
different. In any case, students must be familiar with some of
her books.
Honorarium: $200 * for 1 one-hour long chat with a maximum of one per day. She is, however, available for more than one day at this same rate. Please visit Elaine Scott to see her bio, then follow the three other links at the top of the page for a list of her books, information on her presentations when she comes to do a physical visit, and book ordering information for getting her books from a variety of sources. Grade levels: K-YA Residence: TX A FEW WORDS FROM A LIBRARIAN WHOSE PATRONS HAD AN ONLINE CHAT WITH ELAINE:
The chat with Elaine was wonderful.... The children really enjoyed what she had to say. They were able to ask several questions and Elaine answered them thoroughly. It was a great success!! I am so happy I was able to work with Elaine and am looking forward to her new book in November. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
