Project Description:

For her replicable project, Laura instituted an after school poetry program for her teens.  Through the program, Laura helped her students build confidence in writing, public speaking, and friendships.  This PowerPoint presentation offers Laura's views on poetry as an outlet for teens and covers the logistics of creating a similar program at another site: space; supplies; and format.
