web cam author visit- Sheefa

Today we saw the author Melissa Stewart! Not only did we see her, but we saw her virtually! It was very exciting and also a very interesting activity to do. First , we had to come up with questions to ask her. Everybody had their thinking caps on and started to jot down a few questions. Then when we were done, we read our questions aloud. All of them were pretty good. Then the day of the author visit finally came! We were so excited to meet her. Then , all of a sudden, the web cam went on. We could see her! After a short introduction, we started asking a few questions. I was very fascinated by the answers we were getting. She also talked about a new book that she wrote but it wasn't coming out until 2013! It was a book called,'' No Monkeys, No Chocolate!'' It was about how monkeys who live in the rain forest eat the pulp of the cocoa beans. So if they didn't, there would be no chocolate! Anyways, it was a very nice activity we worked on. - Sheefa
