I am really excited planning this Author Visit of Ms. Natasha Vizcarra. I am sharing some parts of my plan and the poster which our Communications Associate made for this event. Here is the link to a blog post I wrote a few years back on how to plan and organize an Author Visit.
Author Visit: Writing About Science During COVID Times with Natasha Vizcarra
DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE:
This Author Visit is contextualized
around research and its value to meaning making, to the responsible
communication of facts and information and in the creation of knowledge for
readers, young and old. Ms. Natasha Vizcarra, a seasoned writer and editor, has
been researching and writing about Science even before the dawn of the COVID
age. The kind of writing she does, apparently, takes on greater relevance when
Ilaw ng Tahanan published her book, Spikeys,
Prickles & Prongies: A Coronavirus Discovery Story (2021), a children’s
book about the coronavirus.
TARGETED CORE VALUES:
Adaptation
●
By understanding the story of a science writer
creating a book about the coronavirus, we are able to gain confidence in
braving the pandemic as individuals and as a community.
Bayanihan
●
The
Author Visit has a book donation drive for students of our partner public
school in coordination with CAS Coor, BASC and UPServe (?) A minimum of 30
copies shall be bought for book donation to public school students.
●
The Author Visit is open to the BA Community
and teachers from our partner public schools will be invited to attend.
Connection
●
Concepts about the creative process and skills
on research shared by the guest speaker connect to tasks and projects in the
subject areas.
●
This event may inspire more students to begin
CAS projects related to the Sciences and consider pursuing a career integrating
the humanities to the sciences.
