Live Event with Sharon Draper, author of our GRA Book OOMM

Today we participated in the live interview with Sharon Draper, author of our Global Read Aloud book Out Of My Mind, with other kids around the world.  We tweeted questions using our class twitter account @MrsThierysClass.  Many of the kids' questions were answered.  We were so surprised to hear Pernille Ripp read our question and say our names.  The kids also participated in a backchannel using TodaysMeet with other classrooms around the world.   Below is a video of the interview of Sharon Draper.  



Here is a picture of our class participating in the live event.  Be sure to visit our class bloggers' pages to read more about their thoughts on this experience.
