Our class got to listen to Eric Wilson talk about his books today. He 
inspired us to travel across Canada and write about our great country. 
He also revealed his secret to finally becoming a published 
author....make an idea web before you write your story! Our library is 
well-supplied with Eric Wilson's mystery books and they are very 
popular! Here's a sample of what our class learned from Eric.

that Eric started writing to inspire the kids in his class. - Wes
He made 22 
books. - Kobe
I learned that you should plan what's going to happen in the 
story 
before you write it. - Kaden
I learned that it's better to go see 
the place before you write a story 
about it. - Christian
I learned that 
he wrote books in different languages. - Bruno
I never knew that authors made 
idea webs before they make a story. - Gemma
I learned that Eric LOVED Hardy 
Boys books when he was a kid and that's

books. - Anonymous
