School Visits
Gene presents an entertaining, informative program for students in grades 1-6 that gives them a concrete way to construct stories. Using many hats and props he helps children understand character development, and welcomes audience involvement for character and story creation. Gene will amuse and inspire students.
Gene's interactive program for students in grades 7-12 emphasizes showing, not telling in creative writing and how using the five senses can spark story ideas, and then be used to enrich the writing. He shares real examples from his own books.
Since 2003 Gene has presented to over 70 schools in Wyoming, Missouri, South Dakota, and Minnesota. K2 News of Casper, WY visited Verda James Elementary while Gene was presenting. To see the news clip, click the appropriate link.
