Dear Colleagues,
Award-winning Newbery Medal Katherine Applegate gave an outstanding
presentation for our K-4 students today showcasing The One and Only Ivan and
the new non-fiction book Ivan: The Remarkable the Story of the Shopping Mall
Gorilla. Katherine shared documentary video and photos of Ivan as a baby
gorilla on a projection screen. The students were mesmerized as they reacted
in a chorus of "Wow..and awes..She really made the book come alive for our
students, and she was an inspiration for future young writers...
She handled a wide range of grade levels, and the girls were captivated by her
research on gorillas. She asked, "How do you communicate with the world?".
Soon the gorilla on the screen started beating his chest. She suggested the
students pretend to be a gorilla. The girls beat their chests and grunted
until they were out of breath.
In addition, she really highlighted the creative process of being a writer too!
Highly recommend her as an Visiting Author! If you have questions, please feel
free to contact me.
