Youth Programs Blog
Thanks to Broadway Books for hosting our reading by Benson High School students! It was especially helpful that they let us set up a projector for the event. The WITS writer-in-residence at Benson was Nicole Georges, who is a graphic artist, and the students created their own comics. For this reading, we projected the images onto a screen while the student read.
We hung a sheet as a screen.
