This time, my Skype Presentation and 
Magic Carpet of 16 Books,
visited

ARGENTINA!

The students were delightful, with beautiful smiles and many  interesting and pertinent questions to ask about the two books of mine they were reading.

The Revenge of Thelma Hill
and
Down Under Calling 

Their english was awesome, as was that of their Principal and her teachers. English is taught there as a second language, and French as the third.
 

We covered a lot ground--reading, writing, global themes, and more. The Principal asked me to stay longer, and I was happy to do so--approx 1 1/2 hours in all.  YEA!!

The connection was not the best, but we didn't allow that to interfere with our globally themed exchange of thoughts,
books, and ideas.

We plan a return engagement.

 SKYPE Makes it Happen!

A small segment of the class.

My voice sounds different--husky and much deeper.
Oh well, being there with the students
is what really matters--Right?

Dear Teachers:

I have always loved Skyping into classrooms, and encouraging students to read and to write stories for themselves.  For years I have offered this service FREE.  However, times have changed—and authors also must pay bills.

Beginning in 2018,

My FEE for a “Skype Author Visit” will be
the PURCHASE of at least 2x of my BOOKS.

Approx $20.00 —including postage,
 book discount, and autograph.

MY FUN and EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATION 
 STAYS THE SAME
As do the FREE BOOKS (pdf),  plus WRITING HELPERS
and COLORING SHEETS I always send.

PRESENTATION:

I create presentations that fit each individual class.

OVERVIEW:
I begin by introducing myself as an Aussie Transplant now living in Oregon. I tell a little about growing up Down Under, show cool Aboriginal artifacts, and read from one of my books. Then I go into how books are written, and where my inspiration comes from. I also stress the importance of powerful words, focus, plus strong plots and characters.

Visits to older grades receive a more in-depth chat about the writing process, and I use the FREE Writing Helpers I send as talking points. At the end, a fun Q and A allows for a sharing of ideas and writing know-how. This is often the highlight of my visit.

NOTE: I always send a reminder ahead of time, with
Writing Helpers, Coloring Sheets, and several FREE
(pdf) Books for you to read to your class, including my
Fairdinkum Aussie Recipe Book
(food I loved to eat as a kid Down Under)

 
*My Teacher Study Guide
covers all my books

“My Magic Carpet of Books.”

As the author of 16 Books for children,
I truly believe my small fee is “doable” for most schools.

Do consider, that My BOOKS will continue to
offer fun and educational opportunities
long after my visit is over.


Margot Finke,
Hoping we can enjoy 2018 together-
HOOKING KIDS on READING. . . and Writing.

SKYPE Author Visits--Fun Way to Educate!

The SKYPE End is Near

Yes, it’s true—the school year is winding to a close. All those rambunctious kids off to frolic over summer,  and give teachers a chance to recoup, catch their breath, and gird their loins (love this expression) for  the beginning of fall classes.

So far this year I have had the pleasure of making SKYPE Author Visits to classrooms all over the US and overseas. And I also chatted with teachers about the fun and educational opportunities a SKYPE visit from a real life author can bring to their English classes.  I even have pictures from some wonderful teachers, and rafts of oh-so-cool thank you notes from many students. Skyping all over the place has kept me busy, on my toes, and breath held, due to the outrageous questions some kids ask.

Nothing is too personal. YIKES!

So, I am spending my summer vegging out in the garden, smelling the flowers, watching birds drink from our fountain, and catching up on my reading.  What about YOU? 

If you’d like to chat about a Sky[e Author Visit to your classroom in fall, or a Q and A with your 'teacher staff' about the ins-and-outs of a Skype Visit, email me: mfinke@frontier.com

making education FUN!
