Session 15: AUTHOR's CHAIR meet in Media B

AUTHOR!  AUTHOR!! AUTHOR!

Tonight's class is a celebration of your work as authors -- both in traditional forms of text and in digital/multimodal forms of text. 

As a way to celebrate  your work, we ask that each author select 1-2 pieces from her collection to share with the group.   Sharing this work may involve reading aloud or asking us to listen as you play a pre-recorded piece (or iMovie) to the group. 

The most important question left to answer is..... what do people like to eat when celebrating?
