Today we have the last set of TWICE ASK programs, with Amy Young on her book, Belinda Begins Ballet. Students from Michigan and Texas read the book and followed the ASK process to generate questions ahead of time.
Amy Young started by reading the book to the students.
- Did you take ballet?
- Why did you give Belinda such big feet?
- What is your favorite book of the ones you wrote?
- Did your first job inspire your drawing or writing?
- Who is your favorite author & why?
- How do you make a lot of books?
Students got to see both the draft of the writing as well as the draft of the drawings. This ASK program was unique in that Amy Young is both the author and the illustrator, so students could see the process from both perspectives.
Amy also had a pair of Belinda’s shoes, which was really cool! The students were very impressed.
This year, TWICE offered 20 days ASK programs with 4 sessions each day and 3 classes in each session. Just over 5000 students were impacted by these programs. We are starting to put together the schedule for next year’s ASK programs, so watch the website for the details so you can plan. Next year we will take registration through CAPspace, so make sure you have your account set up and your equipment verified. Hope you can join us next year!
