"Creative Expression Through Language, Literature, and Literacy" is the theme of the fourteenth annual Ohio Kentucky Indiana Children's Literature Conference, to be held Saturday, November 14, 2009 at Thomas More College in Crestview Hills, KY, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Keynote speaker, award-winning children's author and illustrator Paul Brett Johnson, will discuss the crafting of his Appalachian-themed reader's theater scripts and offer presentation tips for teachers and librarians. Certificates are provided for those seeking to fulfill professional development requirements.
In addition to Paul Brett Johnson's keynote presentation, music teachers, language arts teachers, art teachers, librarians, and other professionals looking for arts and humanities content will be able to choose from a varied menu of seven high-quality workshops. Presenters will offer ideas for using reader's theater and other theater techniques to enhance K-12 literacy; for using story quilts as a tool to share stories, music, and games from America's past; and for building puppets which youngsters can use to create and present simple stories. Along with these and other workshops, experts from the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library and The Blue Marble Bookstore of Fort Thomas, KY will review new books for students of all ages.
The 2009 Conference is sponsored by the Dearborn Highlands Arts Council in cooperation with the Blue Marble Book Store, Clermont County Public Library, Kenton County Public Library, Kenton County Public Schools, Lawrenceburg Public Library District, Madeira City Schools, Northern Kentucky University, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton Country, Aramark, Thomas More College, University of Cincinnati, and Xavier University.
Adapting to the difficult economic conditions, the 2009 OKI Children's Literature Conference has been planned as a half-day conference in order to save participants time and money. Registration fee (which includes a continental breakfast) is $45.00. Registration and additional information are available at http://oki.nku.edu or by contacting Dr. Jennifer Smith (859-572-6620 or smithjen_at_nku.edu).
