Description:
Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns. Join us for an engaging presentation about the writing and book-making process!
Award-winning author Mary Quattlebaum will lead students in a discussion of writing, using her middle-grade novel "Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns" to focus on description, characterization, revision, and other fictional elements. Students will write a short description and talk with Mary about their process.
Project partner Random House will provide each interactive site with a complimentary copy of Mary's book, "Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns."
