(photo by Patrick'Raftis) Youn Authors heldrich About 90 potential authors of the future got together at Victoria School, Goderich, for the Second Annual Central Region Young Authors Day on May 13, The elementary students, representing Clinton, Colborne, Holmesville, Hullett, Robertson, Walton, Seaforth, Vanastra and Victoria schools had a'chance to share dialogue on books of their own production during the event. Each student was responsible for both the written content and the illustration of their hooks, which were produced as part of the Huron County Board of Education's reading and communications program. -Most of the schools do bookmaking all year," said Victoria Librarian Diane Steep. Each school waft allowed to send 10 delegates to the event. The delegates were selected for the quality of their story lines and accompanying art work. Most of the story ideas were original, in- itiated by the students, but some choose to write on one of several patterns, such as "If i Were a Unicorn." However, "If they used a pattern, they had to make the story their own. These are all individual books, created by the students," Steep noted. In addition to reading and exchanging ideas on each others books, students also heard from guest speaker Gwen Whilsmith, a Huron 'County author, on her work and had a chance to ask questions on the subject of writing. Victoria School will be hording their own in -school Author's Day on May 20.
