9、ts in 2013 to support a Haitian student and give books to a new library. Following the trip, Shotwell brought the experience back to her classroom. “My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by writing childrens books,” Shotwell said. “Though some learners dont think they

23、utside their aquarium. The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the fish would recognize and spit at the face they had learned from among 44 new ones. And they were right more than 80% of the tim
