GETTING STARTED

Hello and welcome to the FOLD Kids Book Fest 2022 Educator Guide! This guide was created to help educators engage with their students while attending the festival events. The pre- and post-activities below can be used for all our events. The exercises throughout are deeper dives into specific events and the author profiles are meant to find out more about the creatives participating in this year’s festival.

PRE-EVENT ACTIVITY

Before watching a festival event, look up the authors. Make note of the books they’ve written and discover a little bit about them.

1. What made you choose this writer or illustrator?

2. What was the most interesting thing you learned about them?

3. Share why you chose the author and what you learned about them with your classmates and teacher. Prepare one question that you would ask them if you got the chance.

POST-EVENT ACTIVITY

After listening to the session, identify:

1. three things you learned

2. two things you found interesting

3. one question you still have about writing or about one of the authors

Check out the Scavenger Hunt section for a fun activity to incorporate into the classroom.

It’s time for stories!

First, author Leonarda Carranza reads from her picture book, Abuelita and Me, followed up by a Q&A on kindness. Then, join author Keah Brown as she reads from her picture book, Sam’s Super Seats, followed by a discussion on the creation of the book and the impor tance of kindness.

1. We live in a community with many different types of people who have many experiences. Why is it important to learn and listen to the stories and experiences of all people?

2. The two main characters in each book are very brave. Can you think of a time you were brave?

3. What are some activities you like to do with people you love?

4. There are people who help the main characters in the story. Who are the helpers? How do they help? If you were in the story, how could you help?

Join us for a fantastic conversation with award-winning author Lawrence Hill as he discusses his first kids book, Beatrice and Croc Harry, with teen Book stagrammer Ainara Alleyne. Whether you’re a reader or a budding writer, you won’t want to miss this discussion on imagining new worlds and tackling big issues in writing.

1. Pre-Reading: Using the cover as your starting point (and perhaps chapter 1) predict what you think may happen in the story. Use the details you see and read to base your predictions on.

2. During Reading: The writer gives the reader only a few hints throughout the story about how Beatrice and Croc Harry are connected. Predict how you think these characters are connected.

3. Post-Reading: Now that you know the circumstances that brought Beatrice and Croc Harry together, imagine Beatrice 10 years in the future explaining her situation to family or friends. Dramatize what and how you would recreate a part of the book using additional details of your own. Include details of Beatrice’s feelings towards Croc Harry.

Looking for a page turner? For genres like mystery and horror, pacing is incredibly important. In this event, authors Sarah Everett and Trynne Delaney discuss their approach to creating a mood and setting the pace for their novels. Join us for this powerful conversation as they explore their experiences as writers and why they decided to write these fast-paced stories with interviewer Liselle Sambury.

1. Imagine something in your life that you enjoy. Now write a short scene that turns that object/experience into a horror.

a) What have you done to create a scary mood from something that brought you joy? Was it the adjectives you used? Was it the sentence lengths that changed that pace?

b) Once you’ve written your scene, share it with the class or a partner. How have other students turned their prompt into something scary?

2. Find a short excerpt from a story (this can be something a fellow classmate wrote or a published piece of work).

a) What changes can you make to alter its pacing?

b) How have these changes impacted the excerpt’s tone/mood?

Discover how scientific facts and imagina tion mix, and what happens when a jour nal-keeping lab rat starts thinking about colonizing Mars. We’ll talk about research, misinformation, and correcting mistakes— both in writing and friendships—in this entertaining and informative session based on the STEM-themed middle grade novel: Mortimer: Rat Race to Space.

1. This TEDEx video of Phil Plait—who was a member of the Hubble Space Telescope team—explains how scientific discoveries and the scientific process requires making mistakes. Of the following, which of these scientific discoveries were discovered by accident: a) Peanut Butter, b) The Microwave, c) Penicillin, d) Chewing Gum, e) Bicycle, f) Silly Putty, g) Anesthesia

Answers can be found here: https://www.rd.com/list/10-accidental-discoveries-put-to-good-use/

2. How can you make sure the information you are reading is accurate and reliable?

3. What’s something new you discovered using your accurate and reliable research methods?

Young adult authors S.K. Ali and Natasha Deen will discuss the art of creating believable and engaging relationships—romantic, platonic and/ or familial with interviewer Alyssa Gray-Tyghter. They’ll offer practical tips for writers of all ages, explaining the stories behind the creation of their most popular and problematic characters.

Using a book you’ve read, analyze a character by their relationships.

1. What types of relationships do they have? Use the mind map below to explore this visually by writing the character’s name at the centre of the page. In the other circles, write the names of the other characters and the relationship type.

2. How do these relationships—whether romantic, familial, or platonic— affect their decisions?

Young adult authors Matthew Dawkins and Loridee De Villa join us to discuss writing on Wattpad, their publishing journey and what it’s like to have a book published while in university.

1. Before tuning into the session, imagine the different steps that might be involved in becoming a writer. After experiencing the session, compare authors Matthew Dawkins and Loridee De Villa’s journey with what you thought the process would be like.

2. Based on what Dawkins and De Villa shared during the event, use the Venn diagram to illustrate the similarities and differences between their ideas about writing and the writing process.

3. Did anything surprise you about Dawkins or De Villa’s career path? Which part of their career path interested you the most and why?

4. What qualities or skills would you like to or need to develop in order to pursue a career in writing?

In this event, Deaf artist and actress Gaitrie Persaud will present the incredible children’s book, Bharatanatyam in Ballet Shoes by Mahak Jain and Anu Chouhan, in American Sign Language (ASL). Suitable for children and families of all ages, this ASL storytelling event will provide learning and fun for adults and children. Oral translation will be provided by an ASL interpreter.

1. What did you learn about American Sign Language from Gaitrie Persaud’s ASL Storytime that you didn’t know before?

2. What’s one word you learned in ASL that you want to remember?

3. In the story, the main character learns that she can do both her cultural dance, Bharatanatyam, and ballet. What are the fun things you do with your family/at home that you’d like to share with your fellow classmates?

In conversation with Joshua Whitehead, Marty Wilson-Trudeau and Phoenix Wilson will talk about writing their picture book, Phoenix Gets Greater. They’ll also touch on what it means to be Two Spirit/Niizh Manidoowag and the importance of sharing their Anishinaabe culture.

1. After reading the quote on the right from Charlotte Nolin, how were Two-Spirit people regarded in their communities?

2. What are the ways you can help create an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for your fellow classmates?

3. How can your school create an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all its students?

Before colonization, residential and day schools, and religious influence, Two-Spirit people were highly respected in Indigenous communities. “We were the ceremony keepers, we were name givers, we were the medicine people, and people looked at us with honour and respect,” says Nolin, who is also a day-school survivor. “Being Two-Spirited is like being a pipe carrier or being a lodge keeper: our lives are for the people. When you’re young, you don’t know these things. I had to learn from life itself — how to adapt, how to carry myself being Two-Spirited, and how it would affect other people.”

[From ‘You Belong in this World’: Two-Spirit survivors share their stories by Shelby Lisk, TVO]

The Illustrator Battle returns with a new crop of artists who will take up their drawing tools and battle it out from their own drawing tables. This not-tobe-missed interactive event includes hilarious and complex challenges, featuring Canadian illustrators Aliya Ghare, Jason Li and our Illustratorin-Residence Myriam Chery, with the FOLD’s very own Kids Coordinator, Ardo Omer, returning as its host.

1. Which art style did you enjoy the most out of the three illustrators?

2. Draw your favourite animated character from memory. Once you’re done, look up the character. Were you close? What were the interesting differences between your drawing and the original character?

3. Make six medium-sized circles on a page. In each of the circles, either recreate your favourite and most used emojis or create entirely new ones.
