Slide 1: “Have you ever hidden away in your room with a notebook and a daydream? Meet Emily Dickinson—a curious girl who wrote secret poems about nature, love, and life!”
Slide 2: “Emily lived in the 1800s, over 150 years ago. While other kids ran outside, she stayed home at her family’s big white house in Massachusetts, exploring her imagination instead of playgrounds.”
Slide 3: “Her gift? Writing more than 1,800 tiny, powerful poems—though only 10 were published while she was alive! She used short lines, dashes, and surprising word combinations to capture big ideas.”
Slide 4: “After Emily died, family members found her secret poems and shared them with the world. Today, she’s celebrated as one of America’s greatest poets, teaching us to see wonder in flowers, seasons, and even silence!”
Slide 5: “Remember, you don’t need a stage or an audience to share your voice—just a notebook, your imagination, and the courage to write from your heart, just like Emily Dickinson!”
