On Monday, Carrie Harris, author of the epically funny
Bad Taste in Boys, came to talk to my 6th graders about what it's like to be a writer, zombie science, monster proms, and her newest book coming out in November,
Bad Hair Day.

| Carrie taped together all her rejections and showed them to my class |
 |
| Students are eager to read some of the rejections aloud |
 |
| They are all apparently fascinated by rejection |
 |
| Students work on a Monster Prom writing activity |
 |
| The reason Carrie agreed to come in the first place: I made her maple bacon ice cream :) |
A good time was had by all! I hope she'll come back again next year. I'll have to come up with another wacky ice cream flavor to entice her to come back.
Can I just go back to 6th grade and stay in your room forever?
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun. Thank you for having me! And btw, the ice cream? Lasted less than a day. ZOMGSOGOOD.
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic!! That is so cool that she came to your classroom. Your kids must feel so lucky to have you as a teacher. :)
