​

• To earn the credit, you must attend the writing workshop on Friday, October 14 from 6:00-8:00 pm and the conference on Saturday, October 15 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (attendance will be taken). You must also write the follow-up response paper if you want to receive a P (Passing) grade.

• The follow-up response paper has the following requirements:

  • You must read a total of 3 books, one by each of the authors featured at this conference.

  • Your follow-up response paper must include 4 well-developed paragraphs as follows:

    • A 1-paragraph response/reflection for each of the three books (3 paragraphs total for the book responses). Use examples from the story to make it evident you actually read the book. Some ideas or suggestions for topics might include:

      • Discuss your favorite part of the book and explain why.

      • How are you different from one of the characters?

      • How might the story be different if it had happened somewhere else (or in a different time period)?

      • Did you like the story? Why or why not?

      • Was there a character you didn’t like? Explain why.

      • What did you think of the way the author wrote the book (the author’s style, tone, and/or approach to telling the story)? Use examples to support your opinion.

    • The final/4th paragraph reflection is on the conference itself. This can include any kind of response in which you share your experience with the conference.  Feel free to give us feedback, share what was beneficial, what was not.  You will not be judged on your response in this section as long as your tone is respectful.

    • Papers are due by December 15th, 2016. Please e-mail to Stan Steiner: stansteiner@boisestate.edu. Include in the subject heading: Rexburg SCBWI Critique/Response.your last name.
