Poise: Mrs. Cammarata looked very comfortable speaking to our class. She didn't look nervous at all and in my opinion looked confident in her books and accomplishments. Some specific examples was when she was reading parts of her book out loud she was clear and steardy and looked very comfortable.
Clarity: I thought Mrs. Cammarata was very clear. When she read excerpts from her book she did it at an even pace so that it was easy to understand. For example, I thought that when answering questions she was answering them honestly and was not using big words to make ditractions.
Volume: She had just the right tone. From where I was sitting I could hear her perfectly which is important. Specifically when she was doing the create character activity I could still hear her even when people were shouting out answers or details.
Information: Mrs. Cammarata didn't include too much detail I think because she didn't want to give away anything important in her book. The information she did give was enough to make her book very enticing for me to read. I'm glad we got a copy. An example was she brought in pictures of what some of the warriors looked like in the book and read descriptions of the characters. I think that information helped her reach her key points.
Organization: She was very organized and her presentation flowed very nicely. She never went off on a tangent. Everything she brought up related to her book somehow. For example she brought up her son Nick and explained how he helped her with ideas for the second book.
I enjoyed having Mrs. Cammarata speak to our class. I thought our class asked many questions, was respectful, and got involved. I liked gettiong involved in the create character activity. It was a lot of fun! I think you should invite her back for next year because i think she did a good job and students will be appealed to her fantasy books. I would like you to invite more speakers to our class. It was alot of fun and really helps me find books im interested in.
