LEARNING COMMUNITY 003

Earth Voices: The Earth and Our Human Experiences
Geology provides the context for literature including fiction, poetry, and drama. Our theme includes the human impacts on the Earth as far as mining, resources, water control, global warming, and related topics. In Geology, students learn basic earth science concepts without the in-depth connection to their everyday life, the choices they make, the history of these choices, and how these choices affect and determine the human condition in which they live. Literary selections will give a face and a voice via integrating the human experience with the geological realities.
