Burns spoke about her book, “Tracking Trash”, to grades 4-8.  Burns tracked down and interviewed the scientists responsible for tracking the trash which has fallen from cargo ships into our oceans.  She shared some of their stories and their research that seeks to find ways to better understand the ocean.   Students had many questions about trash in the ocean, and Burns challenged them to think creatively to address and solve the problem.

After presenting the two assemblies, Burns also met informally and answered many more questions from the 4th Grade, as their theme is The Sea.  As comfortable in the world of children’s literature as she is in the world of science, Burns also listened raptly as each student shared with her titles of the favorite books each was currently reading.

The opening remarks of her address to the older students included her recalling her writing as a child.  She admitted having great regrets that she had saved only one pieces of her early writing, and she exhorted the students to save their work through the years, so they can always have a view into their own thoughts and feelings at different stages of their lives.
