On 11-03-09 I visited Lake Fenton Middle School in Fenton, MI. I was asked to speak in front of 450 students about writing. I started off by talking about myself and about my quest to become published. After that I took questions for about 15 minutes. The students there were just the most polite, fun people you could imagine. They didn’t want to stop asking questions but we had a limited amount of time.

Then I read a page from each of my books and asked the students specific questions about what the characters were going through. After that we had another discussion which turned out to be very informant for both the students and myself. Then I played a clip about the importance of literacy and we had yet another discussion.

I had a great time and I think the students did as well. A special thanks to Mrs. DeLonge who arranged it all and Nicole Guiles who helped me out immensely.

Thanks Lake Fenton Middle School,

Taylor Joseph.
