Taking it Outside: Connecting Science, Writing, and Students

July 26 - 29, 2011
$550 (10% membership discount)

Join the Alaska State Writing Consortium’s Sondra Porter and MSLC education staff for an exploration of science and writing in Denali National Park. We will learn about Denali’s natural history and current research efforts as we develop our writing skills and discuss applications for our students. We'll explore ways of connecting students to place and how to deal with what has been labeled "nature deficit disorder". We will also discuss the connections between literacy and science and use these concepts to reinforce the Alaska State Standards for both language arts and science in grades K-12.
