Marie Harris PRESENTS
School & Library Visits

Thanks so much for considering inviting me to your school or library! As you may know, I've been a writer-in-residence in New England schools for more than 20 years.

My school visit involves four sessions, comprised of similar grade groupings. And, though I know you'd like as many of your students to participate as possible, smaller groups yield more meaningful results, especially in the early grades.

My 50 minute presentation combines a short "lecture" in which I introduce myself and talk a bit about my life as a writer. Then I read from my books, with formats ranging from a kind of story time presentation/conversation for the younger children, to a selective reading and discussions of the writing life for the older students. There's plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Go to Teachers' Page for sample lesson plan.

The essence of a place lies in its details. In verse and prose Marie Harris offers us the details of New Hampshire--some well-known, some obscure--and thereby makes the state ours.
