Learning to Envision

In Chapter 5, “Learning to Envision,” details the way the researchers asked the Latina girls in the Girls Writing Science Project to reflect on what they had learned through the act of interviewing women in science. We share the process of teaching the interview profile writing assignment and asking girls to go through multiple steps, including revision. We share selections from the final interview profiles and the responses the women in science wrote to the girls who interviewed them. The writing became a way for the girls to reflect on and envision their own lives, interests, and perspectives in relation to science.
