Description
By reading and re-reading the passage closely combined with classroom discussion about it, students will identify why and how Feynman started to look at the world through the eyes of a scientist. When combined with writing about the passage and teacher feedback, students will both learn how memoirs can be as deeply revealing as fiction and how to unpack the meaning of a first person narrative.
