 * Jack Gantos **
 * Hannah (Naomi) & Alia **

Dear Online Magazine readers,

December 5-6 Jack Gantos came to talk to us about his life and how to write amazing stories. One of his stories is Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key. He showed us how to use examples of your own life and use them to make a good story. Jack Gantos showed us how to be organized with our writing and how many times we have to write drafts to make sure our writing is good (at least 3 times). He told us stories about when he was a little boy. He told one story about a cockroach, another story about when he ran around naked around his house as a little boy, and a story about the time he found a watch on the ground. He showed us his books and how he took them from being his family stories into a really humorous story.
