I spent the morning with the talented Springville students. I knew they were talented going in because, before I arrived, I received an email full of their cool book ideas\u2014visualized!

And I noticed a familiar Garfield illustration; it matched the welcome drawing I received earlier that morning.

I was greeted with more art as I performed in a gym covered in cool frontier murals. But I was especially thrilled when I found out just how many of the kids wanted to be authors AND screenwriters. I hope you enjoyed my screenwriting segment and don\u2019t forget to keep reading. Like I said, that\u2019s the easiest thing to do to help you become better writers!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/conestoga.ops.org\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9805.jpg\" alt=\"dscn9805\" width=\"500\" height=\"276\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9805.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9805-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/conestoga.ops.org\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9834.jpg\" alt=\"dscn9834\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9834.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSCN9834-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Mrs. Langan and Mrs. Buffington for having me out.
