What is the Presentation format?

During the Stick With-it Literacy Tour, Co-creator/Illustrator, Chuck Temple, will help motivate and encourage students to read, write and create!

Presentation format:

One of the Brady Brady books is read to the students and put into book creation context
The book is projected onto a large screen using a Multimedia presentation
A second multimedia presentation explains the publishing and book-making process
A third Multimedia presentation shows the artistic process used for illustrating the books
A brief analysis of technology and its role in bookmaking and illustration is demonstrated using a Multimedia presentation
A final "live" demonstration shows students basic techniques in drawing and cartooning
Students are then encouraged to ask questions.
The entire presentation takes approximately 1 hour in length

What type of set-up is required?

Event set-up is really quite simple! Co-Creator Chuck Temple will bring everything to the event location, except for the following:

a large screen to project onto or a blank wall
small student desk and chair
a flat back easel (required to draw on) note: easel pad is supplied by 3M.
enthusiastic students!!
Donated books will be delivered to the School or Library prior to a scheduled visit (approximately one week in advance)

What is the ideal group size?

The size of the group is determined by the School or Public Library’s needs and preference. Typically, several classes participate at a given time, usually from Grades 1-6. The multimedia format lends itself nicely to a large group format, accommodating upwards of 500 students at a time.
