Yesterday we were able to join Calgary's LitCon 2023
The virtual presentations included a keynote speaker Kenneth Oppel, "A Life's Scribbling". He talked about how he got started as an author. We learned that anything around us can be turned into a story!
In the afternoon we had a virtual tutorial with a children's book illustrator Vanja Kragulj. She taught us how to create characters using circles.
(These presentations were not recorded, and our camera was off.)
Today we enjoyed the grade 2 assembly. It was about the 7 Grandfather Teachings.
We went outside and participated in the Iron Campers challenge. We were rated on creativity, use of materials, and collaboration.
