The Pull of Gravity Goes to School(s): Unexpected #5 (can't resist!)

Nick's facebook page! So, I had kicked this feature off the radar for the summer (busy with tons of #TeachersWrite Friday Feedback stuff etc...) but woke up to tweet after tweet from a beloved teacher in Michigan this morning, sharing photos of her kiddos' TPoG projects this school year.

I mean, seriously, how could I resist?!

So, just a quick share today. And a huge shout out to Jessica Boguslawski and her students at Fitzgerald High School in Michigan.

Jessica incorporated The Pull of Gravity into her curriculum as a "choice book" to go with her Of Mice and Men unit. In March, I Skyped into her classroom.

Prior to my Skype visit, I sent along some book "swag" to the students, and there arose a running joke as to the real meaning of the word swag and whether I was using it wrong. As such, I showed up via Skype (to many giggles) wearing a handmade swag crown. After the Skype visit, I
mailed the crown to the class.

buttons and bookmarks fit for a queen. Or, king! ;) Over the past few months, I have periodically received a tweeted photo of some awesome student (usually male!) wearing the swag crown proudly.

**sorry, crown-wearers' photos not posted without permission**



Anyway, without further ado, in addition to that awesome one up top (!!!) here are some more of the terrific The Pull of Gravity student projects from the 10th graders at Fitzgerald High School.

Please note that I have redacted last names
and/or spoiler information contained
in any of the projects.

Three words for the students who made these:

You. Totally. ROCK!!! :D

Two "Wordle" posters and a "Letter to Nick." Dad ("Fat Man 2")'s facebook page! Letter to me! (redacted for spoilers)
Another letter to me, redacted. :)
Jaycee's facebook page! Love, love, love her wall posts. :) Thanks, guys! These are the things that make an author's day (week, month, year!).
