School Visits

Sudipta’s presentations blend storytelling and language arts with fun and wit.  Children of all ages are invited to enjoy Poppy’s story and to learn about writing.  Sudipta shares all her books with the students so they can see a real face behind the printed words.

Sudipta is happy to work with teachers to make classroom visits both supplementary and complementary to the in-school learning experience.

 

 

 

 

 

Sudipta’s Presentations

Here is a sampling of the presentations Sudipta offers:

 

Smooch, Roar, Plop, and More. PreK-Grade 3.

 

This presentation centers on the main characters of Sudipta’s picture books, The Hog Prince, The Mine-o-saur, and Tightrope Poppy.  Sudipta reads the books and the children are encouraged to join in the storytelling experience by acting out the stories – all the smooching, roaring, and plopping!  The presentation includes an overview of what Sudipta does as a writer and how the publishing process works. 

 

From Inspiration to Printed Page: How a writer takes an idea and crafts it into a publication. All ages.

Sudipta talks about the writing process, from finding and refining an idea to the final published piece.  She will read excerpts from her current projects, discuss how she structures a book, and share funny stories about her career as a writer.  She reads one of her newer projects and asks the students to develop the art to accompany the text, either individually (to be completed independently) or by dividing the pages among the audience.  The session concludes with a preview of the illustrator’s completed art. 

Writing Workshops. Grades 2-5

Sudipta guides the audience through the process of creating a story.  She discusses  with the group how strong characters, interesting settings, and challenging conflicts are the heart to good stories.  The group then begins a guided writing assignment to let each child’s creativity take center stage.
