Many of you have stated you wish to seek to understand the standards
on a higher level. Reading an article about a topic we are covering
and relating it to our current standard is a great way to
demonstrate further thought. I used to refer to this as the NNCE.
You can now add this to your Cornell Notes or even on an exam or
other assignment. It can also be turned in as a separate assignment
as long as you are showing me you are connecting what we are
studying in class to what's going in in the world. Feel free to
search for an article yourself or you can find one of these and
start here. Here is the link to Newsela
(Earth Science articles) for this class (the code is 2GFY57)
(This is a work in progress, send it to me and I will link it,
giving you credit of course)
