Simon, I love this! So creative and streamlined for use. I don’t know if middle school science would be an area that you would get into, but I use the book Notable Notebooks: Scientists and Their Writings by Jessica Fries-Gaither with my students. It’s a read aloud that actually has a great resource of an astronaut reading from space at https://storytimefromspace.com/notable-notebooks-2/
I wonder what you think would pair up well with this book?
