Piqua Central Intermediate students welcomed acclaimed author Shelley Pearsall this week. Mrs. Pearsall presented to the entire student body where she shared about her writing process and how she faced rejection that finally lead to success. Students also enjoyed a writers workshop focusing on “characterization.” Using a variety of shoes as inspiration, students crafted their character’s attributes and wrote introductions to entice their readers. Pearsall’s visit was made possible with grants provided by the Miami County Foundation, Piqua Community Foundation, and hotel accommodations were provided by The Comfort Inn of Piqua.
