This is amazing! It walks you through the entire process with full color pictures and examples of ideas. My own author celebration was a huge success. Thanks.
Great ideas for having a writing celebration in your classroom! I also loved the awards. If you ever revise the document I would love more award options. My kids really enjoyed these.
Thanks for your hard work and fun ideas!
We added a little twist with this by adding a reader's theater production before we shared our own stories. The kids absolutely loved it,and we had amazing reviews from the "fan club" members. Thanks for stressing the importance of letting the kids vote for the narrators. One child that was voted for was not a surprise; however, I was shocked with the second child. I never would have considered her for the part because I would have considered to her to be too shy. She was amazing, and it was so fun to watch her confidence grow so much in the last few weeks of school. This was so much fun. I will definitely be adding this to my end of the year traditions! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I just purchased to Author Publication Celebration and I noticed one of the awards was "barnstormer award", is it supposed to be the "brainstormer award"?
