April 1st, 2010: Author Anna Myers visits the sixth-graders! Our favorite Oklahoma author, Anna Myers, will share writing tips and her stories with 6th graders in reading/writing workshop classes. Her historical fiction books cover a wide range of American historical events--the American Revolution (The Keeping Room and Spy), the Great Depression (Red-Dirt Jessie, Spotting the Leopard, and Tulsa Burning), the Korean War (Rosie's Tiger), the Civil War (Assassin), the devastating Galveston hurricane of 1900 (Stolen by the Sea), etc.She also has written two humorous novels, Confessions from the Principal's Office and Wart.
