Author, Bruce Corville Visits Nutter Fort Intermediate
”It all starts when Russell Crannaker buys a “monster’s ring” from weird old Mr. Elives. Russell is sure the ring is just a silly magic trick—but he follows the instructions anyway, and slips it on his finger. Then he whispers the magic chant, twists the ring once, and suddenly he’s sprouting horns! Hair covers his face and hands. Russell has become… a monster!” Students at Nutter Fort Intermediate were drawn into the story told by noted author, Bruce Coville during his recent visit to the school. Having completed an author study, participated in interactive read-aloud and checked-out the books from the library, the students had a close encounter with the man behind the stories. During his presentation, Mr. Coville highlighted several of his popular books, i.e. Space Brats, Dragon Slayer, An Alien Ate My Homework, Moongobble and Me, The Monster’s Ring, My Teacher is an Alien. He provided writing tips, how to develop a story, and insight on being a writer. Books were available for autographing following the session. The presentation left students and staff members clamoring to the library for yet another dose of Mr. Coville’s literary magic. Facts:
