Christopher Myers

I thought that this video clip send a really good message to students and even teacher. The way he explain how he wrote his stories base on his life and like he said everybody has a story to tell, this can relate to students. Most of the students would be motivated to read his books and even write a book or a story themselves. I thought it was a good idea to bring the author to the class because that will be also a motivation to the students. My question is why do you think Christopher Myers interact with the students the way he did and wrote a story with the students?
