The event began with a review of the
writing process timeline. Each student
had a chance to share with the
audience one step of the timeline.
Students then passed out
refreshments to their guests and
proceeded to read their work aloud to
parents and peers. Guests then had
the opportunity to write one thing
they enjoyed about the student’s book
on a sticky note which was placed on
the inside cover. Students met with
the guests one by one and by the end
of the party had a cover full of positive
feedback.
The party was a great success and all of
us at the Cooke Center are so proud of
our young writers. We look forward to
many more publishing celebrations in
the future.
