Middle School Author Visit

Today, the Middle School had an interesting author visit from Dianne Salerni. Dianne Salerni writes middle school fantasy and mystery books, and YA fiction. Mrs. Salerni presented a Writing Emotions Workshop with a lesson on showing emotion through character body language. The presentation included opportunity for a student writing activity and group sharing. The Middle School students did a wonderful job demonstrating the use of the writing skills Dianne Salerni had presented. It was an exciting event to kick off Middle School Language Arts classes and the library!
