=**Welcome to ASD 6th Grade Science**=

The Learning Target that is associated with this project is for students to analyze the information they have learned in a particular chapter and apply it to real world experiences.
====Each chapter listed on the left has an overview of skills presented throughout the chapter on the main page. The Discussion tab contains a real world experience that is associated with the content of the chapter. Each class has a Wikispaces account and will post a response to the discussion item.====

====Students can view what other classes have written, but don't do this before having a class discussion of your own about ideas for responses. After coming up with a few ideas look to see how other classes have responded. If the response you planned to post has already been written by another class try to go in another direction with your class' response or use your original information to elaborate on what that other class has written.====

====If you would like another class' imput about a topic you could add a new post to the discussion. In this case I would contact other 6th grade teachers and tell them you created a new post. In most cases classes will be using this at the end of each chapter and may not check it much in between. This would be a great way to get students to communicate with others and share ideas.====

====If you like the direction this is going and think it would be great if every student was able to create a response, then student accounts can be created and we can discuss creating you a Wikispaces page of your own or incorporating individual student responses into this page.====
