Raina Telgemeier will visit our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders on Monday, October 24th. Ms. Telgemeier is the author and illustrator of the graphic novel, "Smile." She has also adapted four of Ann M. Martin's popular Babysitter's Club books into graphic novels and co-wrote, "X-Men: Misfits," with her husband, Dave Roman. In addition, Ms. Telgemeier is also a cartoonist and many of her cartoons can be viewed on her website, goraina.com. For the last couple of weeks, students have been learning about Ms. Telgemeier and have also had the opportunity to create their own web comics.
While at Brookwood, Ms. Telgemeier will have a special lunch with 12 students who will be chosen through a contest - "Why I want to have lunch with an author." Students may write an essay, draw a cartoon, create a video, poster, poem, etc. for their entry. All entries must be turned in to the media center by the end of the day on Monday, October 17th. Winners will be announced no later than Friday, October 21st.
