Award-winning actor and writer, Ken Sagoes, visits Lithonia Middle School.
Students in Zandra Drayton’s English Language Arts classes were treated to a lesson on writing by Ken Sagoes, an award-winning writer/actor. His visit coincided with their county performance task on producing a narrative story for a movie production company. He gave great advice on how to write stories and having self-respect.
The students were able to experience and participate in acting out a scene from his latest screen play, “Young Trials”, about a 14-year old prodigy trial lawyer who defends his father. The inspiration for this story is based on an actual teenage college graduate.
