The end of the year is a time for reflection. And this year, the novel Project Hail Mary has been a HUGE feature of our honors classroom. It spawned so many conversations and questions. While some kids were distracted by all the science and experimentation that went into the book (one even criticized that it felt like the science sometimes got in the way of the story), most people couldn’t stop talking about the book. Here for one final conversation are Maylee and my co-teacher Drew, with our final end-of-the-year thoughts about Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary.
