Classic Stories In Movies

Today in HS math we discussed the movie, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The movie was based on a comic book of the same name, by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill.  The comic draws from 7 characters from historical fiction:
Tom Sawyer
Captain Nemo (from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea)
Allan Quartermain
Dorian Gray (from the Portrait of Dorian Gray)
Dracula
Mr. Hyde (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)
The Invisible Man

See if you can read all the stories that built the characters in this movie!

Deaf Stem

Looking for a sign or an explanation of a math or science term?
Check out Deaf Stem .  It's a website that is trying to figure out the best way to sign math and science words.  Maybe the sign is not the exact one we use, but it can help with your homework!
