Writing Fix: An I Pod Inspired Writing Lesson: This I Believe: Science

This writing assignments asks students to decide how they will make a difference in the effort to save our oceans. First students will listen to several episodes of "This I Believe," the NPR weekly pod cast where authors describe their beliefs. After students understand the structure of these pod casts, they will listen to a "Science Friday" podcast that describes the state our oceans today and how they can take action to reverse the current path of destruction. Finally, students will create a "This I Believe" podcast about the oceans to publish to the classroom I-Pod or webpage.
