Hit: Author Talks

[uthoff <uthoff@fyiowa.infi.net>]

I sent a Target out in Early January requesting information on speakers who
go out and give presentations specifically about individual authors. I know
of at least a dozen speakers who go out either as first person characters or
slide sets and artifacts on Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was trying to find out
if this was singular occurrence or if there were people who went out to talk
about L. Frank Baum, Lousia Mae Alcott, Beverly Clearly, Gary Soto etc. The
responses I got were from people who hadn't heard about this kind of program
before, except for one woman who thought I meant the kind of basic author
study that you do at the beginning of the unit. The type of presentation I'm
talking about is more like authors make about themselves at conferences. I'm
still interested if anybody out there has heard about this type of program
for other speakers, so if this rings a bell, let me know.
