Stink Solar System Superhero

- Reading
- If reading together, pause to distinguish Pluto’s scientific classification from Stink’s campaign message. You could also explore what would count as a fair argument for his position.
- Themes
- Standing up for Pluto: After learning Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, Stink campaigns in his classroom to restore its status, connecting the cause with small planets and small people. The premise presents Stink’s campaign as a sympathetic stand for those considered small or overlooked.
- Worth knowing
- Stink’s response is described as intense, including feeling he might explode with a Big Bang. The extent of this emotion or any conflict around his campaign is not clear.
