If there is anything frustrating about writing an article like this, it is that I am barely scratching the surface of
what science fiction reading and writing can do to help students become scientifically literate—to develop the
flexibility of thought and reasoned imagination they will need to succeed in our society. Beyond reading,
having students consider a potential impact through writing science fiction lets them work through different
points of view in a meaningful way—they start telling stories…about science.
