Meet your teacher, Mrs. Karen Kallas.

Now let's meet you - Write an elevator speech. If you stepped on an elevator and a stranger said tell me about yourself, what would you say in that limited time. You will have 5 minutes to prepare it. It can not take more than 20 seconds to present/perform. You may use a notecard to prepare your thoughts. You will have to step on the "elevator" to give your speech. Be creative!
