Picking noses, wiping boogers, and pickles - author beware!

by Michael Moorehead
author of The Student from Zombie Island: Conquering the Rumor Monster and a frequent guest speaker at schools, libraries and bookstores.


Looking for a few good ways to spruce up your school book talks? Then read on to discover several great ways to make book talks more fun for both the audience and the speaker.

When it comes to presenting at schools, the most important thing to do is be very interactive with the audience. As a personal experience, when I wasn't engaging the kids about my book - The Student from Zombie Island - I literally saw them picking their noses and trying to decide where to wipe the boogers. I'm not joking!

The more speakers connect with their audiences and ask them questions, the more the kids understand what the speakers are trying to tell them. Presenters also need to remember to talk "to" the students, not "at" them. For example, instead of saying, "A rumor is gossip spread by word of mouth," ask the audience, "Does anyone know what a rumor is?" This will start a discussion on rumors, and before you know it, the students will really be tuned into what you're saying. [more]
