I’m grateful to bring my years of coaching experience to make my school visits as fun and engaging as possible. My interactive 45 minute presentation/storytelling workshop has been a hit at all the schools I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, and I’d love to bring it to your school!

In the first 15 minutes of the workshop, I tell the wild, up-and-down story of the creation of Operation: Cover-Up, using illustrated, cartoony slides (see examples below). The rest of the time is spent getting kids to tell their own stories with a packet I created called Operation: Make a Story. I emphasize the basic elements of plot structure—main character, motivation, and obstacles—and encourage kids to let their imaginations run wild, and above all, have fun!

Presentation slide examples:

I offer the presentation/workshop to groups as large as 150, and it is designed for elementary school-age kids.

So far, I’ve had the joy of visiting the following schools:

Glenwood Elementary, Woods Charter School, Mary Scroggs Elementary, New Horizons Elementary, Friends School of Wilmington, Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill, Carolina Friends School

Each visit has been a blast, and I would love to add your school to the list!
