This project was designed to investigate if incorporating components of science journalism into the daily schedule in a chemistry and physics classroom would impact an ELL student's science literacy skills. Interaction with current science news, article writing, and monitoring student progress were included in the treatment units. Student writing samples and communication demonstrated improvement in multiple components of science literacy as measured in this study.
