Program Description
Awarding winning author Steve 'The Dirtmeister' Tomecek introduces students to the non-fiction writing process in a small group setting. Using several of his books as models, Steve compares and contrasts fiction and non-fiction literature and demonstrates how he "maps out" a non-fiction book. Under Steve's direction, students offer their own ideas on non-fiction writing topics and discover how they can set up an effective research plan to obtain valid information. Common Core at its finest!
