“What’s your Superpower?” HMX Author Visit

This grant funds a children’s author visit by Marc Tyler Nobleman to 6th grade students at Hommocks as a part of their English Language Arts unit on power. Mr. Nobleman will give one-hour presentations to all 6th grade teams as well as a writing workshop to a smaller group of students in the library. The workshop will foster students’ curiosity and develop research and inquiry skills. Each 6th grade ELA classroom will also receive a full set of his most recent book, “Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman” to allow all students to share a compelling real-world inquiry that connects with the reading and writing unit as well as copies of his earlier book, “Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman.”
