Author J. Roger Davis, facilitates creative-writing and read out loud workshops in classrooms and schools. Students use critical thinking skills as they learn the components of a story and story development with characters, plot, and setting.
Our hope is to help bridge the gap in literacy and learning by providing classroom visits and residences for creative writing and whole group learning workshops for students of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to provide educational programming that is enlightening and creative and fun.
