Education
is taking a new, interactive technological turn and I'm excited about
it. So excited, I want to be a part of it. That's why I would like to
engage you in a unique 21st
century learning collaboration, using some of my books as a way to
integrate multiple disciplines with an unusual, virtual author visit.
I'll
give you an example. Take the holidays of Hanukkah and Passover. Your
curriculum calls for teaching why and how these festivals are
celebrated. I can breathe new life into your teachers' lesson plans
through my books Hanukkah
Around the World and Passover Around the World. These books consist
of original stories revolving around unusual holiday customs from
countries across the globe. Each story is accompanied by brief
background information on the Jewish community of a specific country.
That means we have four subjects wrapped in one book: Jewish history,
geography, Hanukkah/Passover customs and background information, PLUS
literature.
Now
for the FULL PACKAGE. I have developed interactive PowerPoint
presentations around each book. By working out all details and using
your school's smart technology, I can enhance your school's learning
experience through a 50-60 minute virtual author visit and program.
I
have other books that lend themselves to these visits as well. Try a
new twist in teaching Bible stories through my two books Tasty
Bible Stories
and Green Bible Stories for Children – the latter being perfect for
teaching about the environment or creating a unique Tu B'Shvat
program.
What
better idea for a grandparent program than one of my two Jewish
Heirloom Stories – Mayer
Aaron Levy and His Lemon Tree or Lotty's Lace Tablecloth?
Your
students can participate in my programs, read stories together with
me, and then engage in a Q&A with the author. Each presentation
is limited to 30 students. Fees for single and multiple presentations can be worked out with me.
To
find out more about my books, please visit my website. It's
friendly and easy to navigate. Afterwards, contact me through my website so that we can continue the conversation (email or Skype) and
work together on how to strategically replace learning materials for
the specific subjects my books deal with.
Looking
forward to hearing from you.
