By far the best way to prepare for a visit is to have the students read my books . If you have trouble obtaining them from your local supplier, please let me know. I have copies on hand or may know of someone in your area who can provide them. Many ideas for class projects can be found at the Bungalo Books Web Site . These are projects that teachers have used over the years to prepare students for my visit.
Many schools have limited space and like to have as many students as possible attend a presentation.
This is fine. However, for a quality presentation, crowded libraries or media centers work much better than gymnasiums. I will try to arrive at your school approximately 30 minutes before my first presentation to set up for my programs. It helps me a great deal to have a schedule of the day's events at least a week before I arrive at your school. I know that schools have to accomodate many regularily scheduled activities and I am therefore very flexible.
