Local Author Visits Marsteller Middle School
Local author and author of Henry on Fire, Stuart Schadt, spent the day visiting Ms. Strohman's 7th grade language arts classes at Marsteller Middle School. Mr. Schadt held a brief writing workshop before engaging students in an analytical critique of his novel. Mr. Schadt's visit provided students with an inside view of novel writing and an eagerness to discuss literature at a deeper level. It was a unique experience to finish reading a novel and have the author visit the very next day.
