Author Visit Kit

By Gary Soto

Students who know Gary Soto's work might guess that he likes to have fun, and he does. When he visits classrooms, he likes to read from his work and show video clips from the films he's made. Sometimes he acts out poems or stories as impromptu theatre with teachers and students. He enjoys traveling within the western U.S. and requests that students know several of his books before he's invited to visit. Keynote addresses for teachers' conferences are a specialty for him.
