CCMS Publishing Party:<br />
Young Authors Host Party for Parents and Peers<br />
illustrious authors and a chance to give<br />
positive critiques of the students’<br />
work.<br />
On October 29th, Mr. Betancourt's<br />
middle school class celebrated the<br />
publishing of their personal story<br />
books by throwing a party. These<br />
newly published books featured an<br />
important event in the students’ lives.<br />
Complete with a cover and an “about<br />
the author” blurb on the back, these<br />
pieces of work were truly something to<br />
celebrate!<br />
Parents and other CCMS students and<br />
staff were invited to join in<br />
refreshments, a reading by the<br />
The event began with a review of the<br />
writing process timeline. Each student<br />
had a chance to share with the<br />
audience one step of the timeline.<br />
Students then passed out<br />
refreshments to their guests and<br />
proceeded to read their work aloud to<br />
parents and peers. Guests then had<br />
the opportunity to write one thing<br />
they enjoyed about the student’s book<br />
on a sticky note which was placed on<br />
the inside cover. Students met with<br />
the guests one by one and by the end<br />
of the party had a cover full of positive<br />
feedback.<br />
The party was a great success and all of<br />
us at the <strong>Cooke</strong> <strong>Center</strong> are so proud of<br />
our young writers. We look forward to<br />
many more publishing celebrations in<br />
the future.<br />
