| LIZABETH ZINDEL Ms. Zindel has access to Skype and iChat. 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.

Grade levels: 7-YA Residence: NY A FEW WORDS FROM A LIBRARIAN WHOSE TEENS SKYPED WITH LIZABETH: The online chat was wonderful! Lizabeth answered questions from the Teen Advisory Board for over an hour. Since many of the teens love to write she was very helpful about answering their questions about the writing process. I was very pleased at the turnout of fifteen teens on a beautiful summer afternoon and at their insightful questions. What a great start to our Summer Reading Program. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity for the teens of the Niles Library District.
