Let’s Explore with Malani Rose & Company!
Dr. Brown begins by diving into one of the short chapters in the “It’s Almost Time for Middle School” book. Students are encouraged to talk through the parts of the chapter that were most eye-opening, exciting, and/or surprising. This session also explores the five career pathways in the book and further discusses the post-secondary schooling requirements for each.
Career Chatter and Value Sort
Aligning values—what is important—to life’s work is essential to finding meaning and work satisfaction. Research reminds us that value mismatch is a major cause of career dissatisfaction. This value sort activity and conversation are designed to help students begin to think about how their values align with various career pathways.
How did you Write this Book?!
Oftentimes, children are curious about the process of writing a book. Dr. Brown will share a little about her creative process and love for learning and growing as a writer and scholar. This short motivational moment is designed to inspire students to be the best version of themselves and to be intentional about their future success.
Q & A Session
Students learn a lot by developing and asking questions. Questioning the author is a strategy that engages students actively with a text and reinforces communication skills. Through forming their questions, students learn more about the text and the author. Student leaders should be prepared to engage with the author by preparing a few class questions. This will round out our fun time together!
