Landfall Ideas by ASHLEY BAKER https://padlet.com/abaker112/u152aj50112o What do you think we should do in Landfall? Remember it has to have a positive impact on student achievement. en-us 2019-02-07 05:49:34 UTC 2019-09-12 21:09:51 UTC hello@padlet.com "let's Chat" https://padlet.com/abaker112/u152aj50112o/wish/382699263 I am doing an (every) Tuesday landfall session where a student and I sit at a table within earshot of other students. Students are allowed to ask me or talk about anything they want. I direct the conversation to things they are passionate about and interesting things about them that stimulate conversation. This allows student expression, refinement of beliefs, and articulation in speech so they will be able to have productive/positive/passionate discussions with others without the need for defensive or divisive speech.]]> 2019-09-11 13:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/abaker112/u152aj50112o/wish/382699263 Climate Change https://padlet.com/abaker112/u152aj50112o/wish/383280544  Changes in climate can affect food production, water availability, wildlife and human health. Weather conditions, such as storms, can damage infrastructure like roads, rail networks and buildings. Its important to know whats happening to our environment, so we can understand how we can effect it and how it effects us. So far we pretty much haven't been treating it well. Which stinks. 
The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling: 
Global Temperature Rise
Warming Oceans 
Shrinking Ice Sheets 
Glacial Retreat 
Decreased Snow Cover
Extreme Events 
Ocean Acidification
