this assignment. Students will then explore how current artists such as Devin Allen continue to be inspired by Parks’ work to illuminate injustices through the visual image. Students will see the power of visual art to break down barriers of understanding, bring individuals closer to injustices occurring in their communities, and solidify the historical record for future generations.

Welcome to CAST Science Writer, the tool that supports students in writing lab and class reports. This tool is geared toward middle school and high school students.

Science Writer is an interactive, web-based instructional learning tool designed to help students in writing a complete science report; it supports students throughout the process of writing a science report. Research has revealed several effective instructional practices in improving the written language performance of students, and Science Writer has been designed to provide these:
- A breakdown of the report writing process into manageable components
- Scaffolds for each step of the writing process
- an organizational structure for report writing
- Sentence starters to help initiate the writing
Science Writer is a technology-based learning environment that can provide plentiful opportunities for practice—a critical element to successful reading or writing strategy instruction. Science Writer enables students to demonstrate their knowledge of science concepts through writing, structures the writing processes as it relates to content-area writing, structures the thought process required for scientific writing, provides opportunities for structured practice and utilizes the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework to meet the needs of a wide range of students. Science Writer's Agent characters, Max, Sam and Eko, provide tailored support. Max and Sam give students a model and the reasoning behind it, and Eko gives students specific hints on how to progress. Additional support and tools are detailed throughout this manual.
