I
have 29 years experience in education in College Station ISD. Currently
I am an elementary librarian in College Station, Texas. I am excited
about the opportunity to share my writing experiences with students.
I
do 4 presentations per day. Sessions can be divided between two schools
if desired. Presentations are between 40- 50 minutes each
depending on the age level.
During
my presentations, I share stories that I wrote when I was in elementary school, my life as a writer, when I began writing,
where my story ideas come from and how a book is produced. The students
also help me do an interactive storytelling of The Jalapeño
Man.
Recommendation
from Sandra Moore at Travis Elementary School in Mineral Wells, TX
"Debbie Leland was an engaging presenter. We squeezed 200 students at a time into our library, and the students were spellbound. Her educational expertise is evident in her presentation. She was so inspiring that a fifth grader was overheard to say, 'I know I was born to be a writer just like Mrs. Leland.'" skmoore@mwisd.esc11.net
