OK...........I don't want to open the can of worms again...................but, saw this that David P. posted to Trace. Interesting Robot story from Nasa.........towards the bottom of the page it has a section called "Thursday's Classroom Corner" There, you can find, three grade-level choices, available only in text (for two), and with graphics for one, but it is a .PDF. Certainly this idea has existed in academic circles for a long time, not in web-format, however. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast23jul_1.htm?list438943 The info itself is linked from NASA's, Thursday's Classroom.com, providing lesson plans for teachers. http://www.thursdaysclassroom.com/ I know that this is not news to most of you, but I found it interesting in the "simpler language alternative" sense.
