Well here we are at Day 4 of the Author's Study class. Today I learned how to create a Prezi. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a jazzed up power point. Hope you are impressed with my knowledge of technology!
Today my author is Norman Bridwell. He is famous for Clifford the Big Red Dog series. Before becoming an author Mr. Bridwell tried to illustrate but was turned down several times. One day an editor suggested he try his hand at writing and pointed to a picture he had drawn of a little girl and a big dog. The big dog became Clifford and the little girl was Emily Elizabeth named after his own daughter. The advice Mr. Bridwell gives to young writers is rejection is not a reason to give up. If you like doing something, keep doing it and someday you will succeed. Hope you enjoy reading his stories!
