Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants will learn about being an author and how she gets her ideas. They will also learn about illustrating books as they watch Nancy draw.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants loved watching Nancy draw. They enjoyed being part of the process as Nancy asked them what should be in the pictures. Learning where she gets the ideas for her stories & the process involved in getting a book published was also something that participants learned. The children liked the interaction and the parents liked getting to meet the author. For some it was an author they and their children had never been exposed to before. They were excited to read her books.
