(Boosting Engineering, Science & Technology) is to encourage students to use higher-order thinking skills and work collaboratively on a long-term project. For the project, the robotics team had to fulfill several requirements: create a company, build a robot, and give a marketing presentation. The Golden Goblins were not the winners, but they did receive the Spirit Award for their teamwork and enthusiasm.

Chalk Talk: Reading and Writing Are Everywhere
Secondary-level teachers of subjects besides English often do not think of themselves as teachers of reading and writing. Although reading and writing are not the primary responsibilities of science, math, and social studies educators, their students will read and write all the time and need to be able to do these things well in order to succeed. In math, students must read complex word problems and write detailed explanations as to how they solved problems on standardized assessments. In science, students will have to understand their textbook, which will likely be filled with complicated, technical vocabulary terms. In social studies, students may read news articles about historical events and write responses to them. Components of reading and writing may not be separate entities of the curricula for these content areas, but they should be intertwined in the standards. Social studies and math teachers should be on the lookout for various types of texts that complement and supplement the topics that they are teaching. Science teachers should use graphic organizers to help students break down complex vocabulary words.
