摘要:This descriptive case study examined student attitudes, writing skills and content knowledge of urban fourth and fifth graders (6 males, 9 female) during a six - week literacy, thinking skill, and art - integrated environmental science unit. Pre - and post - test questions were used to address knowledge of environmental problems and student enviro nmental actions. Students expressed knowledge and suggestions for positive action of youth through four essays throughout the unit, the final essay being accompan ied by a pop - up constr uction. Writings showed steady growth in number of words, sentences, suggested environmental actions for youth, and instances of discussing consequences and sequels of actions. Students were engaged, collaborative, and reported implementing positive enviro nmental actions .
