Directions Post:

As we progress through this unit, periodically you will create questions and develop answers while we read various selections discussing the new frontiers. Good readers will often stop and reflect what they have read either asking more questions or coming up with an answer to a question. If you find an answer to someone's question in class, please post a reply to answer the question. Below I have provided a sample to a question and answer example.

Example
Question:
What are future careers in space?
What creatures live in the deepest part of the cean?
