Charcoal Clouds and Weather Writing: Inviting Science to a Middle School Language Arts Classroom.

Franks, Leslie

Language Arts, v78 n4 p319-24 Mar 2001

Brings science and art into the language arts classroom as a means of exploring cross-curricular connections without losing sight of the priority of writing. Notes that keeping a pseudo science journal in language arts as well as painting and drawing helped students learn more and see more about themselves as learners, both in science and in writing.
