Her name is "Miss Lauren" (Mrs. Burns' sister), and she is a college student at Columbia International University. She has had a lot of experience with public speaking, theatre, and she is passionate about speaking out to help others and poetry!
The girls got to practice their speaking skills while getting some special coaching from Miss Lauren about what they did well and what they can work on. They LOVED meeting Miss Lauren and learned a lot about how to become better public speakers! They got to share their free verse "Black Out" poems to the class, explain the project, and talk about why they love writing and reading poetry!
