Sparking Interest in Literacy - Author Visits as a Tool to Enhance Learning, Motivation, and Connection

One or more Canadian authors of children and young adult literature will be invited to Lethbridge College to 1) speak to student writers in ENG1185 Writing for Children and Young Adults, and 2) provide a public talk to the Lethbridge College community or provide a writing workshop for interested members of the College community. Not only will this enhance students’ experiences as readers and writers, but it will also mobilize the wider Lethbridge College community to construct knowledge around literary practices.
