Today writer Kevin McGill will be speaking to the class via Skype.
Kevin has been a guest speaker for me in previous years and he is always an enjoyable guest to have. He was also one of the presenters during my Junior/Intermediate Boy's Literacy Event a few years ago (which you can read about via news articles here. You will need to scroll down!)
Kevin's has written a young adult series called Nikolas & Co. He also sent his book into space! (For real!)
As an oral language task, students have paired up and determined an interview question for Kevin. Questions could be about writing, books or sending his book into space...but they all have to be unique! During the interview, one student asks the question during the interview, the other writes down the answer. Later, the student who wrote the answer will need to present their response as part of a class podcast, which I will eventually post here.
Thanks, Kevin, for taking the time to speak with us today!
ADDENDUM: As promised, here is the podcast!
