What would you want your 13-year-old child to learn, read or watch?
I'm creating a summer curriculum for my 13-year-old son. And I'm putting together a list of books, documentaries and other pieces of wisdom to help my son become a jedi at life.

What do you wish you had known at age 13? What book is a MUST read for him? What documentary changed your life?

The US education system is great for helping kids regurgitate facts, but it doesn't excel at teaching people to become a critical thinker.

What information and knowledge should be on any 13-year-old's radar, aside from religious texts and dogma?

Thanks in advance.

Kansas City Chiefs: The Epic Playoff Victories

It's a quick read, more like a pamphlet, but a real page-turner.

The traditional read is say Treasure Island and then dig up the several movies made of Treasure Island and discuss the difference between word and cine.

Sign him up for some type of physical activity like baseball or swimming.

And introduce the Sine, Cosine and Tangent as related to triangles by means of borrowing a transit and surveying the neighborhood. It doubles as a spy glass.

Do a couple of big projects that combine reading, math & problem solving etc...

Build something(s)

Try this link:

http://makezine.com/projects/




For reading, "The Yaqui way of Knowledge" tripped me out at about 13


I dunno....I would tend to assess the weaknesses and try and work on those....

What areas is he lacking?

Yep, and anything that gets him exploring the world to find what he's really interested in... even if that changes day to day at 13yo.

I think that was the age I got Jurassic Park from a neighbor. An amazing book, that became a movie. Timeline, might be another Crichton book that would be interesting. Involves and will open the mind to quantum mechanics.

Damn you. That was going to be my suggestion! That was the only book (title) I could remember as a student. Unfortunately I don't think kids today would really be able to relate. Or perhaps I'm wrong and the book transcends generations. That would be nice as I think everyone should read it at some point in their lifetime.
