Full Day School Visits

Shelley tailors her presentations for groups of any age and size. Talks to pre-schoolers are usually 30-40 minutes long but talks to others are 55-60 minutes with questions.

Example Schedules

A normal full day visit looks like this:

• Meet the staff breakfast
• 2nd and 3rd grades Assembly (50-55 minutes)
• K-1st grade Assembly (40 minutes)
• Lunch
• 4th-6th grades Assembly (60 minutes)
• Book signing

Or it can look like this:

• K-2nd grades Assembly (45 minutes)
• 3rd-6th grades Assembly (50-55 minutes)
• Lunch
• Three 40 minute classroom visits with 3rd-6th grades work on writing

Because she is such an animated and energetic speaker, Shelley limits her assembly presentations to a maximum of three per day. However she will fit her time to your school's needs. Sometimes two assemblies (one for the little kids, and another for the big kids) and a series of question and answer sessions is more personal.

Note: Many teachers feel smaller assemblies are better, but Shelley can easily keep a room of 800 middle schoolers motivated and entertained. Before her visit at your school please contact Shelley and confirm her schedule.

Presentations For Parents

Many schools like to plan an additional presentation for parents and the community in the evening to satisfy Title One funding requirements.

Conferences, Guest Speaking, Keynote Addresses

When talking to teachers or writers at conferences, as a guest speaker, or keynote Shelley usually features whatever has inspired, provoked or moved her:

• Animal adaptation
• Climate change acclimation
• 1000 year old trees
• Sled dogs who can read minds
• Whales who can fall in love

All that and more! She talks about good research, descriptive nonfiction writing, and how to make science and writing fun!
