Students of grade 2 had a wonderful opportunity to meet an author Mr. Nick Taylor in connection to their POI unit ‘Stories’. In preparation to the aurthors visit students were made to brainstorm on what information they would like to collect if they get a chance to meet an author. With their inquisitive minds they came up with wonderful questions that they would ask an author. Prior to his visit we also showed the picture of Nick Taylor and asked the students to guess who he is? Their interpretations were varied. Few kids guessed him as the President of Spain; some said he is a doctor, an engineer, an actor e.t.c. Finally when the children met him in the session they were excited and enthralled to be in his company.
Mr. Nick Taylor discussed with them the essential ingredients ie character, setting and conflict that are required for a story. He even explained the importance of description of the characters and the setting in a story which captures the attention of the readers. It was a very fruitful sesion for our young learners, many of who are aspiring to be young authors like him. Altogether it was a wonderful session for the students and teachers as well. We are grateful to Mr. Nick Taylor who readily agreed to come and shared his valuable time with the young learners.
