Critique Retreat Sessions

On March 15, 2008, I joined Belea Keeney, Joyce Elson Moore, and Loretta Rogers for a Critique Retreat at the Homosassa Public Library.

Youth Librarian Diane Cary made opening announcements to 15 participants. I spoke about "Getting Started." Joyce followed, speaking about "Point of View." Loretta spoke about "Pacing, Tone, and Voice," and Belea spoke about "Showing Rather than Telling/Use of Setting and Props." We then opened up the floor for questions. After a brief break for refreshments, we gave mini-critiques to participants who brought in manuscript excerpts and discussed the writing craft in general, one-on-one. We were also on hand to sell and sign our books. Citrus County Library System Director Flossie Benton Rogers directed participants during our "second half."

Here, critiques are in progress.

Facing the Future Together

If we don't face the future together as partners, what will the world look ike in 10 years?

  • Fewer graduates will be prepared for high-skill demans of the 21st Century workplace
  • The American worker will be displaced by skilled employees from other countries
  • Uneducated, unskilled workers will be condemned to lives of poverty.
  • Finding and retaining good teachers will become increasingly difficult
  • America will lose it's competitive edge in the global marketplace

This prediction is dismal but true.  It's time to intervene as partners.  We're all affected by the preparedness of students who exit our school. 

"Facing the Future Together provides an easy-to-follow roadmap to success through partnership.  Every educator, parent, chamber of commerce, business and industry leader should have a copy of this book."

Successful partnershps will make the difference. 

Let this book show you how....
