MWEE Writing – What is an ELM?

I am confused by the acronyms because I haven’t taken time to focus and learn exactly what they stand for.

ELM – Environmental Literacy Model

MWEE – Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience

I am working on designing a MWEE for my local school community. We can investigate our relationship to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Surprise! Although it feel like the Chesapeake is hours away, we are all in the southern mid-Atlantic area within at least 15 minutes of a connecting body of water.

We will be investigating the Forest Glen Creek behind Flora M. Singer Elementary School. Students learning everywhere can study the water systems in their neighborhood. Our neighborhood is near Sligo Creek and Rock Creek.
