Gale-- I totally ag...Thanks for the comments guys!<br /><br />Gale-- I totally agree with you about the biggest challenge about people coming and going. I will definitely try to hook them from the start! (Hopefully I will have a positive update to share in a future post!)<br /><br />Corey-- With my rhyme crime time, it was really K-3 level because I focused on the phonemic awareness aspect of it. I take verses from my own book and change the word in the last stanza so that it makes sense but doesn't rhyme. And then I change it so it rhymes but it doesn't make sense. By using really clear examples it worked for a second/third grade audience. And it was neat because instead of reading my book at the beginning like I often do, I read it at the end, so they could really see how much better the verses were when they both rhymed and made sense. (Hope this explanation makes sense! :o) ) I would love to get to see your workshop someday!Brianna Caplan Sayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137299043891966903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-28802261932751544972012-09-16T14:47:01.523-04:002012-09-16T14:47:01.523-04:00Brianna, I would love to hear more about your Rhy...Brianna, I would love to hear more about your Rhyme crime Time. Tiffany and I did a Crimes of Rhyme workshop for the NJ SCBWI, but not sure how to take it down to the K-3 level?Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683944890522588405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-40389536596666737342012-09-14T20:12:07.764-04:002012-09-14T20:12:07.764-04:00I've never done a large group "festival&q...I've never done a large group "festival" gig, but I think your best bet is to do anything you can to involve the audience.<br />Your idea to have them help you with truck sounds is great.<br />The hard thing about this venue is that people come and go while you're presenting so you have to have a really big "hook" from the start?
