- Paper Airplane Challenge: After reading the book, my students design and test their own paper airplanes. They brainstorm, build, and improve their designs to see how far or high they can fly. It’s a hands-on way to emphasize trial, error, and perseverance.
- STEAM Challenge: Extend the learning by asking students to create a unique invention using recycled materials.
- Growth Mindset Activity: Discuss how inventors like Thomas Edison and Marie Curie turned failures into successes, reinforcing Rosie’s message.
