With summer right around the corner, join Lancaster Christian Writers for our very last meeting until fall Saturday, 6/16/18, at Lancaster Alliance Church, 210 Pitney Rd (off Hwy 30 across from Costco) from 9:30AM-12 noon (registration opens at 9). Christian author/educator Terry Webb will be sharing her creative expertise in reaching the youth market, secular or inspirational.WORKSHOP: A Christian Writer’s Creative Tool Box for Reaching the Youth Market: How to get kids and their teachers interested in history? What about teaching moral values in today's secular schools? Or applying Jesus’s own example of telling stories to impart Christian principles? In this workshop, Christian writer and educator Terry Webb will share tools for using fiction to teach biblical values along with American history even within the secular school system, all while keeping often reluctant YA/Middle School readers engaged.
SPEAKER:
With a Master’s degree in Education and a background teaching in both
classroom and Sunday School, Mary Theresa (Terry) Webb researches and
writes YA titles that captures both historical events and Christian
moral principles. Youth and adults alike enjoy the school and community
programs she conducts dressed in period costume. Her article “Writing
historical fiction for mastery of 21st century social studies and
language arts skills” appeared in The Georgia Social Studies Journal,
Volume 1 issue, in the fall of 2011. She also teaches adult classes as
an international educational consultant. Her many books and programs
can be found on her website, www.marytheresawebb.com.CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCES: And a reminder that summer--and writers conference season--is just around the corner. LCW has received personal invitations by directors of two great Christian writers conferences in our region, both of whom have spoken at our LCW conference and are known to you. Both conferences are wonderful opportunities to jump-start your summer writing, so I can't recommend highly enough attending one or the other or both.
