Sci-Fi for Strong Girls

Again, pushing myself to learn a new tech tool.  This week, I explored the sci-fi titles with strong girls.  My first sci-fi novel was A Wrinkle in Time in elementary school, my second Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale in my twenties.  My daughter has so much more access to the heroines under these covers than I did growing up.  Right now she is into Divergent.  I hope to move her up into other titles as she grows ready for them.

  1. Thanks for inspiring me by showing that you embrace technology! I have been feeling not so tech savy lately and need to keep up.

  2. I LOVED A Wrinkle in Time when I was a kid. By the way, I made a graphic organizer with piktochart yesterday. It's pretty awesome. :)

  3. It's more fantasy than sci-fi, but I love the abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. Sabriel, Lirael, and the Abhorsen. Sabriel used to be my all time favorite until I got to read Lirael. A girl who didn't really feel like she fit in, and had a hard time with her identity but grew into a strong, confident, fearless woman. Love your piktochart! Very professional!

  4. I like how you paired the action words with titles. It was you who gave me He, She, and It off the bookshelf in your College Park bungalow, boy do I love that book.

  5. This piktochart (autocorrect changed that 5 times! ) looks sharp. I like learning from your tech tries each week.
