Introduction

Welcome sixth grade science students! I recently learned about using blogs as a teacher while taking a graduate class. I am planning on using this blog to have you answer higher level thinking (remember Bloom’s Taxonomy), improve your writing skills and share opinions with your classmates, thus acting as real scientists.

While adding to his blog you must follow these rules:
Do not use any offensive, disrespectful or inappropriate language.
Type in complete sentences using capital letters and proper punctuation.
Do not add any information that is inaccurate or not true.
Do not use any real names (yours or classmate’s) while adding to this blog.

First assignment: Answer the following question by typing a 6-10 sentence paragraph. Begin your paragraph with a main idea sentence.

How do you think Pennsylvania would look different if glaciers never existed in our state?

Assignment’s NSTS-S Technology Standards: Number 2, A and B. Number 5, A-C.
