Hidden Figures Weekend Homework
1/12/2017
So far, you've done a GREAT job with our Hidden Figures reading challenge. The majority of you have been focused, on task, and reading - in the best sense - as readers.
We've carved out almost two weeks of classtime to read this text before we head off next Friday to see the film with STEAM Academy. Reading is a rewarding experience, but seeing a new film based on the book you're reading...even better. :) Here's what you need to take care of this weekend.
Also, here's your Reading Challenge guide: New Year, New Mentor Texts!

BestWelcome back all! We're going to kick off this semester with one more writing project before we're back into a heavy duty literature study. One of my favorite things about the year's end is the wealth of "Best Of" lists published all over the place. I love reading folks' ideas of the Best Books, Best Movies, Best Gadgets, Best Memes, Best Twitter Fueds, and so on. For me, it tends to be a bit of delectable brain candy and a pleasurable way to think back on the past year's trends, hits, and misses. I thought it might be fun for us to create our own Best Of lists. First, check out some of the mentors below, and FEEL FREE to find some on your own! The Top 10 of Everything - TIME Magazine The 10 Best TV Shows of 2016 - Vulture Best sports moments in 2016 - Sports Illustrated Best Writing Advice in 2016 - The Atlantic Best Political Ads of 2016 - LA Times Best Albums of 2016 - Paste Magazine The Best Songs of 2016 - NYT Best Books of 2016 - NPR Best Videogames of 2016 - Paste Magazine |
