Science Writing in the Heart of Denali
Denali National Park & Preserve
June 28 - July 1, 2010
$495 (10% member discount)

Join Alaska State Writing Consortium’s Sondra Porter and the Murie Science and Learning Center's 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.
