The+Marcellus+Watershed

(Background info and lesson plan ideas)

It is important to know what is going on around you. My goal for you during this project is for you to know about something that is happening right now. I want you to know about both sides of this very important issue. I have divided this story into three parts. The first is describing what it is without any opinions. The second part describes why this project could be seen as a good thing. The third part describes why this project could be seen as a bad thing. I want you to think and decide for yourself.
