"content": "\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teens who read about the personal and intellectual struggles of scientists feel more motivated to learn science. That was the finding of a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/edu-edu0000092.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">recent study\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> out of Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why? Many high school students view scientific ability as a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2007/pr-dweck-020707.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">fixed trait\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that is not responsive to effort. As the researchers wrote: “When students struggle in science classes, they may misperceive their struggle as an indication that they are not good at science and will never succeed.” When students learn about how even famous scientists struggled, they began to see that learning and growing from setbacks is part of a successful professional journey.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The researchers noted that published stories about scientists often focus on achievements but neglect mention challenges scientists faced. When Lisa Brennan, a middle school librarian at St. Christopher’s School in Virginia, read about this study in a recent \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2016/05/10/how-teens-benefit-from-reading-about-the-struggles-of-scientists/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">MindShift article\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, her initial reaction was, “Wow, that parallels the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/18/opinion/sunday/the-neuroscience-of-your-brain-on-fiction.html?_r=2\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">research\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on the connection between fiction and empathy.” She reached out to her extensive \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/noveltalk/status/730399169580503040\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twitter followers\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to start gathering titles that cover both the achievements and the struggles of exemplary scientists that could be used with older students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brennan said that read aloud is a powerful tool in the middle and high school classroom, with \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/748056?\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">studies suggesting\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that reading to adolescents increases their motivation to read independently. “The key to reading aloud with older students, in my experience, has been to carefully select brief and meaningful excerpts,” said Brennan. “You'll find that students can actually be captivated by the read aloud experience -- providing your text is targeted and your delivery is authentic.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The list below includes rich picture books that could be read aloud to teens as well as graphic novels, short biographies and collections of biographical sketches that teachers could draw on for excerpts. Brennan, Maggie Knapp (head middle and upper school librarian at Trinity Valley School) and Brooke Williams (a former children’s librarian at New Haven Free Public Library) contributed titles to this list. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Ada-Byron-Lovelace-Thinking-Machine/dp/1939547202\"> \u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45259\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2016/05/Ada-Byron-Lovelace.jpg\" alt=\"Ada Byron Lovelace\" width=\"260\" height=\"314\">Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine\u003c/a>, \u003c/b>by Laurie Wallmark and April Chu\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ada Byron Lovelace was the world’s first computer programmer, creating a coding algorithm years before the modern computer was invented.

Many high school students view scientific ability as a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2007/pr-dweck-020707.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">fixed trait\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that is not responsive to effort. As the researchers wrote: “When students struggle in science classes, they may misperceive their struggle as an indication that they are not good at science and will never succeed.” When students learn about how even famous scientists struggled, they began to see that learning and growing from setbacks is part of a successful professional journey.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The researchers noted that published stories about scientists often focus on achievements but neglect mention challenges scientists faced.
