Beautiful Words

to me those have always been 
the two most beautiful words 
in the English language.”

Why We Explore

All of my AP students subscribed to National Geographic magazine over the summer.  This month's topic aligns perfectly with our theme of Seeing:  Why We Explore.  The students' assignment with the magazine is to post a  paragraph response to one of the articles or photographs in the magazine on our Piazza online discussion board and then respond to the posts of two other students.
