"I thoroughly enjoyed Darren’s assembly! Beyond the engaging and interactive poetry, I was impressed by the reinforcement of skills like rewriting to improve your work and the value of adding additional details to paint a vivid picture with your writing. I loved the encouraging words that Darren had the kids recite and how he reminded them to use their creative power. It was a fantastic assembly that left the whole school buzzing!"
