SUMMARY:Literary Share Fair
DESCRIPTION:Literary Share Fair\nwith Southeast Columbia Co-op\nTuesday\, April 9 at 10am\nFree — All Ages\nNote: This event is hosted by Southeast Columbia Homeschool Co-op.  To RSVP as a presenter or just to attendee/learn\, contact Kimberly Kelley: thinkingkids@gmail.com \nCo-op location is Temple Baptist Church\, 806 Universal Drive Columbia. Oral presentations on book studies and literary elements. \n\nHere’s an idea: Shakespeare! Your student can:\n*tell us about one or more of his plays or poems\n*present a short scene from a play\n*read or recite a poem\n*dress as Shakespeare and tell us what his life was really like\n*research and report on the controversy of “who was the REAL Shakespeare”\n*tell us about some of the hundreds of words and phrases coined by the Bard himself!\n\n\nShakespeare was born in April\, let’s celebrate!\n\n\n\nProjects can be something you completed previously or something you prepare especially for this purpose. Siblings can present together…or prepare individual presentations of their own. Either way is fine. We recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, give-aways. \nTables are provided\, but you can bring your own table for your display. Set up from (10 am-10:20 am). Presentation shifts will begin at 10:30 am \nPresentation format: The presenters get to tell about their project several times\, not just a one-time show-n-tell as participants meander and mingle. It’s also very relaxed style of presenting one-on-one\, rather than the formal “speech”. \nOpen to all homeschoolers\, all ages!  \nTo RSVP as a presenter or just to attendee/learn\, contact Kimberly Kelley: thinkingkids@gmail.com
