November 1 st is "National Family Literacy Day." Tonight you will have the chance to complete a literacy activity with your family. Plan one of the following:
• Think about your favorite picture book. Read the book aloud with your family. Plan on who will read which pages. You may want to plan a craft that your family could also complete.
• Think about a story that your family could write together. You will want to have a setting, plot, and characters. Don't forget to include some illustrations!

Rather than the extensively covered journey aboard the Beagle, Quammen's The Reluctant Mr. Darwin tracks the naturalist's life through the 20 years afterward -- 20 years when he kept his explosive idea under wraps, pondering when and how to release it to the world.
